  Description:
    Abstract: This dataset consists of the interpreted trace of faults that were active during the Paleozoic along likely preexisting Precambrian structures. The methodology and results are documented in an accompanying summary report available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey.
    Purpose: This dataset was produced as part of a project to characterize Precambrian bedrock in south-central Wisconsin. Interpreted faults are shown as lines across which the elevation of the top of Precambrian bedrock changes abruptly. The locations of such structures may influence hydrogeologic properties of the Precambrian bedrock and overlying Paleozoic bedrock, and is thus may be used to develop a conceptual framework for the hydrogeologic system.
    Supplemental_Information: Please see accompanying report for discussion of methods, accuracy, and completeness.
