About the data

Elevation maps via MnTOPO

MnTOPO is a collaborative effort between staff from the Minnesota Information Technology (MN.IT) @ Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and MN.IT @ Minnesota Geospatial Information Office (MnGeo). Funding was provided by the Clean Water Fund of the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment. The project is made possible by the Minnesota elevation mapping project.

Subsurface information via MN DNR
