The geologic map of the Stitzer and western part of the Montfort quadrangles includes 1:24,000-scale mapping of both surficial and bedrock geology. This area occurs at the northern margin of the historic Upper Mississippi Valley lead and zinc mining district. Paleozoic strata are folded into a regionally-significant anticline, and mapping was initiated to...

Elevation contour data and an accompanying report provide an updated interpretation of the elevation of the top of Precambrian bedrock in south-central Wisconsin. The elevation surface was developed from geologic and geophysical data, and provides new detail on the entrenched bedrock valleys that were incised into the north and south ranges of the Baraboo...

The geologic map of the Bloomington and Brodtville quadrangles includes 1:24,000 scale mapping of both surficial and bedrock geology. There is little structural folding or faulting in this portion of the Driftless Area. Thus, it is ideal for studying the hydrostratigraphic framework of the mapped units. The accompanying report presents stratigraphic...

The geologic map of the Castle Rock and Long Hollow quadrangles includes 1:24,000 scale mapping of both surficial and bedrock geology. The accompanying report presents new observations about bedrock folds and fracture sets in this portion of the Driftless Area that lies just north of the main Upper Mississippi Valley zinc-lead mineral district. The...

Depth-to-bedrock maps show the thickness of unconsolidated materials overlying bedrock. These maps provide a key link between the underlying geology, groundwater flow, and land use and are important in guiding activities such as permitting, bridge construction, and the land application of waste products in sensitive areas. Given their role in guiding...

This open-file report documents the first year of a two-year mapping project in Trempealeau County, Wisconsin. This preliminary document is being released to encourage input on the mapping methods and map to make the final product as useful as possible. Contains 27-page report, map of southern Trempeleau County, cross section, and photos of drill core.
