Collection of 20 geologic maps which are now available in geodatabase (.gdb) format following the USGS Geologic Mapping Schema (GeMS). Current collection consists of 16 county maps, Quaternary, Pleistocene, and bedrock, 1:100,000 scale, 3 regional maps, 1:250,000 scale, and one bedrock map at 1:100,000 with multiple counties. Geodatases are available as downloads from the WGNHS web site.
Collection of cores from 2069 holes in critical mineral focus areas in Wisconsin. This is a subset of the collection, Rock cores from Wisconsin, cores drilled from sites across the state. Metadata follows the UGSS borehole template, with an added field for focus area. Each point shows a drillhole in one of approximately 20 critical minerals focus areas in Wisconsin. Core has been indexed by location and may not show evidence of critical minerals. Three focus areas are quite large and are represented by a large number of drillholes: Pembine-Wasusau terrane VMS, Archaean gneiss terranes, and Midcontinent Rift conduit-type magmatic sulfide Ni-Cu-PGE, but the usefulness of this core in identifying critical minerals...
The collection contains location maps, logs, cross sections, geochemical sampling results, geologic maps, and reports. These records are primary source information for 289 rock cores in our collection. These documents complement the rock cores that Lehmann and Associates had earlier donated to the Wisconsin Geological Survey. These documents can be viewed on an online interactive map application at https://wgnhs.wisc.edu/mineral-exploration-in-northern-wisconsin-web-app/ or http://arcg.is/1PaySr.

The Mineral Development Atlas (MDA) was a joint project by the United State Geological Survey (USGS), the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM), and the state surveys of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, and was launched in 1945 to gather information about mining and exploration in the lead-zinc district. The Atlas consists of section maps at 1:2400 scale showing exploration and mining activity in the lead-zinc district of the Upper Mississippi Valley. When the USGS offices in Platteville, WI closed, the Atlas was distributed to the states. The Wisconsin portion covers primarily Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette Counties, and WGNHS is currently working towards making the Wisconsin portion of the Atlas publicly available online....

The Mineral Development Atlas (MDA) was a joint project by the United State Geological Survey (USGS), the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM), and the state surveys of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, and was launched in 1945 to gather information about mining and exploration in the lead-zinc district of the Upper Mississippi Valley. The Atlas consists of section maps at 1:2400 scale showing exploration and mining activity in the area. In 1960, when the USGS offices in Platteville, WI closed, the Atlas was distributed to the states. The Wisconsin portion covers primarily Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette Counties, and WGNHS is currently working towards making this part of the Atlas publicly available online. The Lafayette...
Hand specimens of rocks collected in and around Marathon County as part of a bedrock mapping project in the 1970s and 1980s. Specimens were collected by P.E. Myers and UW-Oshkosh geologist Gene LaBerge as part of the field work supporting WGNHS publication Information Circular 45: Precambrian Geology of Marathon County, 1983. The collection consists of about 1500 specimens taken from approximately 580 outcrop locations.
