Miscellaneous Map Series Map M-116 Plate 1. Surficial Geology of Chisago County [1:100,000] - Gary Meyer and Barb Lusardi Plate 2. Aggregate endowment [1:100,000] - Gary Meyer The following covers and files were created with funding from the Department of Natural Resouces for the following contract: Aggregate Mapping and Protection at the county level This map is a compilation of previous mapping projects at various scales and new mapping. Project completed June 30, 2001. The projection of the data is UTM, zone 15, NAD83. The following is an index of covers/files used in constructing the maps that are contained in the folders and the ArcView project file (m116.apr).

Files with name.doc are in Word for Window 97 format. Data sets are all associated with shape files but are available as dbf and viewable with a database program. Metadata for the Resources.shp poly file and rspit.shp can be found in the m116meta.pdf stored in the resources folder. Metadata for the state park boundaries can be found at the DNR data deli web site at http://deli.dnr.state.mn.us/metadata/index_th.html surfgeol directory of metadata (m116meta.pdf) describing the coverages stored under the DATA\Surfgeol folder. M-116-MAPS digital versions of the two plates in pdf format (xxx.pdf). Also included are postscript (xxx.ps) files. chis_srf.pdf = surficial geology plate chis_agg.pdf = aggregate endowment plate chis_srf.ps = postscript version geology chis_agg.ps = postscript version endowment All e00 ArcInfo base files must be imported into ArcView using the standard program Import71 which is installed with ArcView 3.x installation. These files will then be available for use as themes within ArcView.
