  Description:
    Abstract: This dataset (M510-dataset01) consists of a file geodatabase (Highland_Quads_GeMS_final.gdb) containing GIS data for the map Geologic Map of the Highland West and Highland East 7.5-Minute Quadrangles, Grant and Iowa Counties, Wisconsin, in the geologic map schema (GeMS) format. It consists of point data derived from field observations, geologic logs, well data, mineral development atlas borehole logs digitized during this project. It also includes of line data of interpreted contacts and polygons of bedrock units, polygons of unconsolidated deposits, and overlay polygons of historic mine workings digitized from the Mineral Development Atlas. In addition to the file geodatabase, this dataset also includes the map data in shapefile and text formats. Please see the accompanying map and supplemental report for more information.
    Purpose: The geologic map of the Highland West and Highland East 7.5-minute quadrangles includes 1:24,000-scale mapping of both surficial and bedrock geology. Highland was a long-lived and important sub-district of the Upper Mississippi lead-zinc mining area in the 19th and 20th centuries. Recent and renewed interest in the presence and distrubution of critical minerals initiated this mapping effort. The map and accompanying report present the Paleozoic bedrock stratigraphy, including structures. Includes map, 14-page report, and GIS data in the geologic map schema (GeMS) format.
    Supplemental_Information: For additional information, please see the supplemental report accompanying this dataset.
