County Geologic Atlas (CGA)

County Geologic Atlases (or CGAs) provide information essential to sustainable management of groundwater resources, for applications such as monitoring, water allocation, permitting, remediation, and well construction.

CGAs also define aquifer properties and boundaries, as well as the connection of aquifers to the land surface and to surface water resources. They provide a broad range of information on county geology, mineral resources (including construction materials), and natural history. Atlases are usually initiated by a request from a county and an offer to co-fund or provide in-kind service. Most atlases are divided into two parts:

Part A - Geology

Prepared by the Minnesota Geological Survey, Part A includes the water well database and 1:100,000-scale geologic maps showing properties and distribution of sediments and rocks in the subsurface.

Part B - Groundwater/Hydrogeology

Part B is prepared by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and includes maps of water levels in aquifers, direction of groundwater flow, water chemistry, and sensitivity to pollution.

Atlases begin with a database compilation of subsurface information. The most abundant data source is the construction records of water wells, or County Well Index. With the cooperation of the County, accurate digital locations are established for these wells to support their use in mapping.

Concurrently, geologists visit the project area to describe and sample landforms and exposures of rock or sediment. An initial assessment of the geologic data is then completed to focus additional data gathering including shallow and deep drilling programs.

Analysis of the complete data set is then completed, and maps and associated databases are prepared for use in geographic information systems (GIS) and distributed online. Most of the products are also printed for the benefit of users who prefer this format. GIS files are available for atlases beginning with C-7. Scott County has been revised, so the original C-1 maps are available as scans, while the C-17 revision is available with GIS files.

Atlas User Guides

County Geologic Atlas Quick Start Guide

The County Geologic Atlas Quick Start Guide is an ArcGIS Online Story Map intended to be an abbreviated introduction to the CGA mapping program and the associated map plates and products within our published Atlases. This is the best place to start if you are unfamiliar with the mapping program and our products.

County Geologic Atlas User's Guide

The Geologic Atlas User's Guide is a more detailed and thorough explanation of the program and our products. Nevertheless, this document is still intended for people that don’t have training in geology or hydrology. The purpose of this Guide is to explain, through reference to County Geologic Atlas products, where our water comes from, how geology and climate control its distribution, and how we can manage water to maximize its availability at the highest quality.

CGA Map & Data Library

All published County Geologic Atlas Part A maps & data are archived through our Map & Data Library on the University's Digital Conservancy website. You can search and browse for specific CGAs through the Map & Data Library or quickly find specific County Atlas data through our interactive status web map or county drop-down menus below.

CGA Part A Geology Map & Data Library

All published Part B maps & data are hosted and available to download on the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources CGA website.
