Geologic Atlas of Rice County, Minnesota (Part A)

A County Geologic Atlas is a systematic study of a county's geologic and ground water resources. Geologic studies (Part A) include both near-surface deposits and bedrock. Ground water studies (Part B) include flow systems, aquifer capacity, and ground water chemistry. In some areas sand and gravel deposits, sinkholes, or other features are studied. Interpretation of sensitivity to pollution is also part of an atlas. The information is organized, analyzed, and displayed using geographic information technology.
