Older ones. All the newer versions have a built in "regional prospector" called site finder, and you can modify the raws to show ALL features on the map.

They appear on the local map (that is the far left one) and ONLY that map.  Not world, not region.
There's also the full-scale map, which is what you get ingame.
48x48 full-scale = 1x1 local
12x12 local = 1x1 region
?x? region = 1x1 world

Aquifers are not features.  They're types of rock.  Look for them there.
They should show as a layer with double blue waves next to it.
They show even without changing anything in the init.
