                                           2002

Project of the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Division of Lands and Minerals

Division of Lands and Minerals, Mineral Potential Unit data:
 Arcview shapefiles
 agp02ln3 - aggregate potential, contacts between mapping units (line feature)
 agp02py3 - aggregate potential, polygons (i.e., mapping units)
 fieldobs - field observations of various types made in the fall of 2000 and during 
            the summer and fall of 2001 (point feature).
 gvl_pits - gravel pit locations mapped from a number of sources (point feature).
 sgeoxln3 - surficial geology, landform line symbols (those landforms that were
            too small to be mapped as polygons).
associated dbase tables, for use with gvl_pits shapefile:
 dotqual.dbf - quality data from MN/DOT pit sheets.  Relate on the sourcexx field 
            in dotqual.dbf and the asis_number field in gvl_pits.
 dotsieve.dbf - texture (sieve) data from MN/DOT pit sheets.  Relate on the sourcexx
            field in dotsieve.dbf and the asis_number in gvl_pits.
