Dakota County Geologic Atlas
Minnesota Geological Survey

Digital versions in shapefile format of the bedrock geology and
the surficial geology maps from the Geologic Atlas are provided
here in an unofficial release.  No documentaion other than included
in this readme is available at this time.  The data are provided
solely as a convenience for potential users in an "as-is" condition.
It is unlikely that these data will be useful without being used
in conjunction with the printed version of the Atlas.
