    C-54, Geologic Atlas of Lake 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.

    The Economic Impact of Local Hockey and Curling Programs on Lake County, Minnesota
    (University of Minnesota Duluth, 2022) Haynes, Monica; Chiodi Grensing, Gina; Hopkins, Erin; Perry, D'Lanie
    The Two Harbors Youth Hockey Association (THYHA) and Silver Bay Youth Hockey (SBYH) are the governing organizations of youth hockey in the cities of Two Harbors and Silver Bay, respectively. Children ages six through 14 are eligible to participate in the two organizations. The sport of curling—both recreational and competitive—is offered to the community by the Two Harbors Curling Club (THCC). The Bureau of Business and Economic Research (BBER) at the University of Minnesota Duluth’s Labovitz School of Business and Economics was contacted by Lovin’ Lake County—the county’s official marketing organization—to conduct a study on the economic impacts of the THYHA organization, SBYHA organization, and Two Harbors Curling Club and the economic benefits that they provide through their operations and tournaments to Lake County. For this report, Lake County hockey and curling includes all THYHA’s and SBYHA’s youth games and tournaments, the North Shore Storm high school hockey program (which uses both the Lake County and Rukavina arenas), and THCC’s weekly leagues, bonspiels (curling tournaments), and rentals.

    OFR16-4, Preliminary geologic maps of Lake and St. Louis Counties, northeastern Minnesota
    (Minnesota Geological Survey, 2016--2018) Jirsa, Mark A, Project Manager
    This Open-File Report (OFR) is a repository for on-going mapping in Lake and St. Louis counties that began in 2015 and will be largely completed by 2020. It contains preliminary bedrock and surficial geologic maps and associated products covering parts, and eventually all of the two counties. Because the counties are large, they have been divided for mapping purposes into subareas, each containing the name Arrowhead. Surficial, Bedrock Topography, and Depth to Bedrock maps are divided into 4 subareas referred to here as the Central (content prefixed “CA,” 2016, 2017); Southeastern (SeA, 2017, 2018); Southwestern (SwA, 2018), and Northern Arrowhead (NA) areas. Bedrock maps and associated files cover 3 subareas referred to as Central (CA, 2016); Southern (SA, 2017); and Northern Arrowhead (NA, 2018). Note that the boundaries of subareas differ somewhat between the surficial and bedrock maps. Products within this Open File Report include bedrock geologic maps, surficial geologic maps, bedrock topography and depth to bedrock maps, Quaternary stratigraphy, sand distribution models, corresponding GIS files, and other digital content. Ancillary files such as technical reports, geophysical imagery and models, and geochronologic data are included for bedrock mapping in the 3 bedrock subareas. Once these preliminary products are complete, the data and interpretations will be recombined into County Geologic Atlases that will supersede this OFR. Authors of individual maps and reports within the OFR include: Boerboom, T.J., Chandler, V.W., Dengler, E.L., Hamilton, J.D., Horton, J.M., Jirsa, M.A., Lively, R.S., Meyer, G.N., Peterson, D.M., Radakovich, A.L., Schmitz, M.D., Setterholm, D.R., Wagner, K.G., and Wall, C.
