    C-51, Geologic Atlas of St. Louis County, Minnesota
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2022) Bauer, Emily J; Jirsa, Mark A; Block, Amy R; Boerboom, Terrence J; Chandler, V.W.; Peterson, Dean M; Wagner, Kaleb G; McDonald, Jennifer M; Dengler, Elizabeth L; Meyer, Gary N; Hamilton, Jacqueline D
    A County Geologic Atlas project is a study of a county's geology, and its mineral and ground-water resources. The information collected during the project is used to develop maps, data-base files, and reports. This same information is also produced as digital files for use with computers. The map information is formatted as geographic information system (GIS) files with associated data bases. The maps and reports are also reproduced as portable document files (PDFs) that can be opened on virtually any computer using the free Acrobat Reader from Adobe.com.

    OFR21-08, Compilation Geologic Model for St. Louis River Watershed: A Pilot Project
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2021-08) Steenberg, Julia R; Retzler, Andrew J; Wagner, Kaleb G; Hamilton, Jacqueline D
    This report is a summary of year one of a two-year pilot project conducted by the Minnesota Geological Survey for the Minnesota Department of Health Groundwater Restoration and Protection Strategies (GRAPS) program designed to support watershed planning efforts in the St. Louis River Watershed. Our goal was to provide a compilation of both surface and subsurface geologic data within selected Board of Water and Soil Resources One Watershed One Plan boundaries in a format suitable for both modelers and the general public. Seamless geologic products provided within the watershed are based on a compilation of previously published MGS maps along with new mapping where necessary. Compilation methods and limitations associated with the subsurface modeling processes are described in the report. These products were transferred into web-based 3D models so they could be readily visualized and used outside of a GIS environment by water planners, other state agencies involved in the GRAPS process, and the public. The 3D model is available online at https://arcg.is/1mbDPC.

    S-23 Geologic Map of Minnesota - Quaternary Geology
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2019) Lusardi, Barbara A; Gowan, Angela S; McDonald, Jennifer M; Marshall, Katherine J; Meyer, Gary N; Wagner, Kaleb G
    There are no GIS files associated with this compilation. It was made for printing and visualization. GIS files are available with the detailed digital database D-1 at the MGS Data Portal -- https://mngs-umn.opendata.arcgis.com/ and are not available in this archive. S-23 compiles new and previously published geologic mapping to show the surficial sediments in Minnesota as a printable !:500,000 scale version. In contrast to Hobbs and Goebel (1982), where map colors indicated provenance, on this map unit colors refer to texture: green for diamicton interpreted to be till, red/orange for sand and gravel-dominated sediments, and blue for silt and clay. Glacial sediments were mapped using lithostratigraphic formation names of Johnson and others (2016) and references therein. Post glacial and proglacial sediments were named for their genesis. Peat is shown in Figure 1. Modern lake sediment is not shown here. Refer to Figure 2 for the location of major provenances and the names and extent of ice lobes during the late Wisconsinan glaciation. Unless otherwise noted, the two-letter map-unit abbreviation indicates diamicton interpreted to be till of a particular formation. The addition of a third letter indicates associated sediments.
