This series of maps shows these deposits as they are vertically arranged in units from bottom to top. Surficial materials include mineral and rock particles in glacial deposits, and mineral, rock, and organic particles in postglacial deposits. Surficial materials also are known in engineering classifications as unconsolidated soils, which include coarse grained soils, fine grained soils, or organic fine grained soils. Surficial materials underlie and are the parent materials of modem pedogenic soils which have developed in them at the land surface. Delineation of the materials is based on surficial geologic mapping (Stone, 1978, Hildreth, 2003, 2004), the identification of glacial meltwater morphosequence deposits, knowledge of the deglaciation history of New England, and examination of borehole logs and water well records. For this set of maps, glacial meltwater deposits are distinguished by their geomorphologic expression, sediment type, and depositional environment. These deposits are further subdivided into a series of related glacial sedimentary facies, which are stacked vertically within each glaciaodeltaic or lake-bottom deposit. Postglacial deposits at the land surface are differentiated by their sediment type and geomorphic expression. The principal surficial materials map shows the distribution of these materials exposed at land surface. The smaller inset maps (maps A-F) show the surface and subsurface distribution of the glacial meltwater deposits , including the distribution of specific sedimentary facies that compose these meltwater deposits. By using each inset map in sequence both the lateral extent and vertical arrangement of the deposits at a particular location can be estimated from bottom to top.

This map was compiled from the onshore surficial geologic map of Stone et al. (2006) and the offshore surficial mapping of Barnhardt et al. (2009), and includes newly mapped shallow offshore geologic features. Onshore and offshore units are continuous across the shallow- water zone (0-20 m below MSL). The definition of map units is based on lithologic characteristics (grain size, mineralogy and structure), stratigraphic relationships and relative ages, and sedimentologic processes. The map describes the evolution of the surficial geology in terms of the sediment sources, transportation mechanisms, and depositional, post-depositional and modern processes that have acted on the late Quaternary sediments that compose these units. Cross sections are derived from subsurface data compiled from the literature and collected as part of this study.

The first component of this model is a map depicting a three-dimensional block diagram of the stratigraphic units that overlie the bedrock surface. The map also presents three-dimensional depictions of the individual stratigraphic units, their aerial extent and volumes.
In addition to the map, the supporting grid files, database and documentation for the three-dimensional model are provided.
This three-dimensional model of the subsurface stratigraphy of the Marlborough quadrangle provides a tool to visualize and explore the relationships of the subsurface units to one another, to the underlying bedrock, and to the water bearing fractures within the bedrock.
There are three immediate benefits of this three-dimensional model:
A web-searchable database / visualization tool for all of the borings associated with the central artery project / "Big Dig" in Boston.
