Lithologic Database

This page is temporarily under construction in order to deliver an improved data access system. 

The FGS well data and the DOS-based program that reads the data may temporarily be downloaded directly from our public site according to the following directions:

First make an “FGSLOGS" folder in the root of your C drive, then place the lithprog.exe file and the unzipped well data files into that same folder. The FGS well logs program and data are found online at the site below:

Program: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/FGS/WEB/lithologic/lithprog.exe

Well data files are in same folder: http://publicfiles.dep.state.fl.us/FGS/WEB/lithologic/  (files are zipped and catagorized by water management district name)

When you first run the lithprog.exe file it will ask some questions about the path to the data file, color preferences, and printer type (just use HP laserjet). Then on a second running it will ask you to input the county name, and on first access to each county will compile and save a separate directory of wells for that county, A list of our wells for the county, along with locations and depths will then display. Since it is running in DOS, you will need to use the 'arrow' and 'enter' keyboard keys to navigate the list (mouse won’t work). When you highlight a well number and hit 'enter' the litholgic log for that well will display.

In some cases, newer operating systems such as Windows 7 may not run DOS-based programs, and additional DOS shell software may be required. If you need assistance please call 850-617-0318.
