Since the early 1980s, the partner agencies have been mapping karst features and publishing various versions of their results in the form of 1:100,000 scale County Geologic Atlases. In the mid 1990s, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources was assigned responsibility for the hydrogeology portions of the County Atlases, and therefore is now responsible for the karst mapping. Sinkhole distribution maps have been published for several counties. The karst feature database has been developed to allow sinkhole and other karst feature distributions to be displayed and analyzed across existing county [...]
