Carbpot

The Carbpot file contains information about limestone potential. Specifically, this map unit shows those places where limestone (see Explanation of terms, Plate III) occurs within 50 feet of the surface. The data layers from the references cited below were clipped to identify the condition of the commodity occurring within 50 feet of the surface. The limestone information contains data for the Prairie du Chien group. The sources of this information are:
