Metadata created using Minnesota Geographic Metadata Guidelines

### Metadata Summary

Originator | MN Department of Natural Resources, Division of Lands and Minerals, Mineral Potential Section, Aggregate Resource Mapping Program
Abstract | This dataset includes information gathered in the field. Fieldwork was completed in the fall of 2005 through spring of 2006. It includes approximately 322 field observation sites within Mille Lacs County and contains a field description of each site, the dominant type of material encountered, the source of information, type of site, unit thickness, and overburden thickness.

Ordering Instructions | The Aggregate Resource Mapping Program's datasets for Mille Lacs County are included in the file milldata.zip, accessible from the MN DNR Aggregate Mapping web page: http://www.dnr.state.mn.us/lands_minerals/aggregatemaps.html The dataset is also available as aggregate resource data layers stored at drive:\data\resource on the CD (where 'drive' is the CD reader or writer drive on the PC). The datasets include data on sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, overburden model source points, field observations, aggregate pits and quarries, County Well Index (CWI) data sources, field observation's sieve database, and MN DOT ASIS pit quality database. In addition, selected Mille Lacs aggregate resource datasets can 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 with little to no GIS experience the ability to work with GIS data. The site can display spatial and tabular aggregate resource data such as sand and gravel potential, crushed stone potential, field observations, and gravel pits. This information can be overlaid on a variety of reference information from Web Mapping Services (WMS) sources like 1:24,000-scale DRGs (digital topographic maps), 1991 black-and-white air photos, and 2003-04 Farm Service Agency color air photos.

Attribute Accuracy |
Logical Consistency |
Completeness | The data points were gathered at the location where field observations took place. Additional information is given in the Lineage section.
Horizontal Positional Accuracy | The differential correction of the GPS unit for GPS located sites is +/- 2 meters. Some point locations were located on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map.
Vertical Positional Accuracy | Not applicable.
Lineage | A GPS unit was used to determine the locations of some of the data points. These points were then downloaded and slightly revised based on field observations, topographic maps, and aerial photographs. The GPS unit (with differential correction) is accurate to approximately a few meters. Other points were located on 1:24000 USGS topographic maps and 1:40000 aerial photographs. These coordinates were then checked with field notes and topographic maps to assure accuracy.
