The National Park Service is offering a grant for surficial geologic mapping along the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. This grant aims to provide essential geologic information for science-based resource management and investigate the complex interactions of retreating ice lobes during the recent glaciation. The University of Wisconsin will produce 1:100,000 scale surficial geologic maps for specific areas along the rivers to enhance understanding of the region’s surficial geology.

| Description: | Surficial Geologic Mapping along the St. Croix and Namekagon Rivers, St. Croix National Scenic Riverway. For this second phase of new surficial geologic mapping at SACN, University of Wisconsin will provide 1:100,000 scale surficial geologic maps for the areas delineated by the portions of the River Falls West, Prescott, and Hastings quadrangles in Wisconsin (all along the St. Croix River) and delineated by all of the Bean Lake and Reserve quadrangles (both along the Namekagon River). This mapping project provides necessary geologic information to park managers for science-based resource management as well as providing new information on the surficial geology of the area which is of considerable scientific and technical interest as a result of the complex interactions of retreating ice lobes during the most recent glaciation. |
