Title:

MnModel Landform-Sediment Assemblages [Minnesota]

Description:

This data package contains layers that were used for the Mn/Model4 (MnModel) project's mapping of major river valleys and glacial lake beds in Minnesota. Soil borings and geomorphic cross sections supported the mapping of Landform-Sediment Assemblages (LfSA's) used to develop landscape suitability models for geologically buried archaeological sites. Soil boring logs in PDF format link to boring points using the field FULLPATH.

This dataset is best suited for general reference only. It is not suitable for precise land measurements or ground surveys. Data are incomplete, as large areas of the state are unmapped. 1997-2014
