| Originator | Minnesota Geological Survey |
| Abstract | This layer describes the bedrock geologic conditions of Minnesota as delineated and classified by the Minnesota Geological Survey. It is a digital version of the Minnesota Geological Survey State Map Series S-20 (Geologic Map of Minnesota: Bedrock Geology), 3rd. edition (2000) by G. B. Morey and Joyce Meints. Scale is 1:1,000,000. The map was created in digital form in 1994, and revised in 1996 and 2000. |

| Time Period of Content Date | 2000 |
| Currentness Reference | Map was delineated in 1994, and revised as of July 1, 1996, based on the subsurface information available at the time. The year 2000 version updates the 1996 state bedrock map with the last 3 years of mapping derived from county atlas projects and various miscellaneous maps at a variety of scales. |
