MINNESOTA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY
COUNTY GEOLOGIC ATLAS PROGRAM

PART A: GEOLOGY

The geology part of the county atlas program provides maps and descriptions that illustrate water well and other data used to map the bedrock geology; surficial (or Quaternary, glacial) geology; Quaternary stratigraphy; bedrock topography (elevation of the bedrock surface), depth-to-bedrock, (thickness of Quaternary materials); Quaternary subsurface geology; mineral resources (geologic mineral endowment) within each county. Map scale is usually 1:100,000 although some maps on a plate could be at another scale.

Atlas products beginning in 1982, were published as printed, standalone paper plates. Recently the MGS has scanned the original plates and is making older atlases, that may no longer be available in printed form, available online as PDF images. Atlases prior to C-7 (Ramsey) were not made in a digital GIS format; from C-7 to the present, GIS files are available in a digital format. Parts from some of the early atlases have been digitized from the paper maps and may be available in the folders. The data are provided as a convenience for potential users in an 'as is' condition and without documentation. If only PDF documents are in the folder, that is all that is available. Scott County has been remapped, PDFs from the original mapping in 1982 are available in C-1 and the new 2007 mapping (PDFs and digital files) is in C-17 (Data include hydrogeology as well; there will not be a new part B).
