Surficial geology of the Faribault 30 x 60 minute quadrangle, 
south-central Minnesota.
Compiled by Barbara A. Lusardi, Howard C. Hobbs, and 
C. J. Patterson, 2002

The following covers and files were created with funding from the U. S. 
Geological Survey under the STATEMAP portion of the National Geologic 
Mapping program.

Digital products
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Export (.e00) files for the Arc/Info coverages created for this
project are all contained in the .zip file "m130.zip". 

A text file named "MNDOT.txt" contains a disclaimer from the Minnesota 
Department of Transportation.  This text is required when any of the
geographic data from their "BaseMap" digital set is used by any outside party.

Textfile "index.txt" lists and describes the coverages included in m130.zip.

All covers are registered in UTM coordinates, zone 15, NAD83 projection.

Freeware versions of software to extract the zipped files are readily 
available for almost any platform (pc, Unix, Mac,..) for download via 
the web.

Metadata for the GIS products is included in this directory as "m130meta.pdf".

A pdf version of the map plate is included in this directory as "m130.pdf".

The pdf map should be viewed using Acrobat Reader 4.0 or higher for best results.  
If necessary, download this file in binary, not ASCII. 
Also available on paper as a plotter map; contact the MGS Map Sales office at 
612-627-4780, ex. 238.

WHEN PRINTING, LEVEL 2 POSTSCRIPT PRINT METHOD MAY NEED TO 
BE SELECTED FROM OPTIONS IN THE PRINT DIALOG BOX.

There also have been problems when printing to large format plotters from Windows 
if the host machine prints using another networked computer as a spooler.  The large 
maps usually fail to print.  This problem has been solved by creating a port that 
accesses the plotter over a network directly without using an intermediate computer.

Any questions concerning, or notification of problems relating to, the geologic 
digital data should be directed to:
