### Metadata Summary

Originator | Minnesota Department of Natural Resource, Division of Lands and Minerals, Mineral Potential Evaluation Section
Abstract | This dataset includes field observations of rock piles. Rock piles can be a source for crushed stone or rip rap. Fieldwork was completed in the spring and fall of 2008. It includes approximately 262 field observation sites of rock piles within Carlton County and the Fond du Lac Reservation.

Ordering Instructions | The Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's spatial datasets for Carlton County and the Fond du Lac Reservation are included in the file carlton_aggregate_data.zip, accessible from the MN DNR Aggregate Mapping web page: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregate_maps/completed/index.html The spatial datasets are also available as shapefiles and a file geodatabase stored at drive:\data\resource on the associated CD (where 'drive' is the CD reader or writer drive on the PC). The spatial datasets include: sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, mining pits, depleted mining lands, Minnesota Geological Survey (MGS) County Well Index (CWI) data points, sieve analysis table of selected field observations, MGS CWI stratigraphy table, and Mn/DOT ASIS pit quality table. Selected aggregate resource datasets from this project can also be viewed in the Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's Aggregate Mapper at: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregate_maps/online_maps/index.html Aggregate Mapper allows users the ability to work with the aggregate resource data without having to download additional software. The site can display spatial and tabular aggregate resource data such as sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, mining pits, and depleted mining lands. This information can be overlaid on a variety of base map information from Web Mapping Services (WMS) sources like; 1:24,000-scale DRGs (digital topographic maps), 1991 black-and-white air photos, and 2008 Farm Service Agency color air photos.

Horizontal Positional Accuracy | The differential correction of the GPS unit for GPS located sites is +/- 2 meters.
Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not applicable.
Lineage | A tablet PC, a GPS unit (Garmin Etrex), ArcGIS 9.3 software, and the GPS toolbar in ArcGIS 9.3 were used in the field to determine the location of the observed rock piles. These points were digitized in real time. The combination of the GPS unit's location, USGS topographic maps (1:24,000), and aerial photographs (1:3,000 - 1:12,000) were used to assist in determining the observation's site location on screen. The GPS unit (with differential correction) is accurate to approximately a few meters.
