In addition, portions of it were intended for use in third-party hydrographic studies and modeling. For more information on the project, a collaborative effort by the Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) and the Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo), see: https://www.bwsr.state.mn.us/drainage-minnesota, Drainage systems were mapped based on a variety of sources including engineering drawings, aerial photos and LiDAR.
