- Abstract:
-
This dataset is the digital version of the map titled "Quaternary Geology of Door County, Wisconsin." This map is published as Bulletin 109, Plate 1 by Eric C. Carson, Scott R. Brown, David M. Mickelson, and Allan F. Schneider and is available from the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey (WGNHS). This dataset provides a spatial assessment of the unconsolidated surface sediment across the entire county including—in some cases—interpretation of underlying sediments.
- Purpose:
-
This dataset was produced as part of a project to map the unconsolidated surficial materials in Door County, Wisconsin. Understanding the surficial deposits, and the geologic processes that produced them, is an important resource for land-use planning decisions. Note that this dataset was developed for presentation and interpretation at the 1:100,000 scale, and may not be accurate for site-specific applications.
