| Lineage | Hua Zhang acquired this dataset of soil borings taken along or near I 94 in Stearns County from the Minnesota Department of Transportation soil boring logs. He typed pertinent data into an EXCEL file, which was used to create an ARC/INFO point coverage. This point coverage was used to aid in the estimation of the surface of the water table |
