Aggregate Resource Mapping Program

The Aggregate Resource Mapping Program (ARMP) began in 1984 when the Minnesota Legislature passed a law (Minnnesota Statutes, section 84.94) to: <br/>- Identify and classify aggregate resources outside of the Twin Cities metropolitan area; <br/>- Give aggregate resource information to local units of government and others for making comprehensive land-use and zoning plans; <br/>- Introduce aggregate resource protection; and Promote orderly and environmentally sound development of the resource.<br/><br/>Provided here is a compilation of GIS data produced by the DNR's Aggregate Resource Mapping Program. Also provided is the aggregate resource GIS data from the 7-County Metropolitan Area mapped by the Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS). Please see the layer-specific metadata for each of the 9 layers for more details:<br/><br/><b>ARMP:</b><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/armp_aggmines.html' target=_blank>Compilation of Gravel Pits, Quarries, and Prospects</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/armp_crushedstonepotential.html' target=_blank>Compilation of Crushed Stone Resource Potential</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/armp_fieldobservations.html' target=_blank>Compilation of Geologic Field Observations</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/armp_sandandgravelpotential.html' target=_blank>Compilation of Sand and Gravel Resource Potential</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/dnr_testholes.html' target=_blank>Compilation of DNR Test Holes</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/projects_and_status.html' target=_blank>Status Map</a><br/><br/><b>7-County Metro Area:</b><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/mgs_sevencounty_aggmines.html' target=_blank>Compilation of Pits and Quarries</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/mgs_sevencounty_crushedstone.html' target=_blank>Bedrock Aggregate Sources</a><br/><a href='https://resources.gisdata.mn.gov/pub/gdrs/data/pub/us_mn_state_dnr/geos_aggregate_mapping/metadata/mgs_sevencounty_sandandgravel.html' target=_blank>Sand and Gravel Sources</a><br/>
