Besides topographic maps for the areas of interest and the Geologic Map of North Carolina (1985) the following reconnaissance studies are also useful references. Most include a description of the geology, an inventory of wells, and a summary of the occurrences of ground water.

All reports may be borrowed through interlibrary loan at any university or public library from the State Library of North Carolina at 919-807-7450.
