underlying Minnesota's landscape. Some of the rocks are 3.6 billion years old-
the oldest found so far in the United States. The map is modified from Morey,
G.B., compiler, 1996, Geologic map of Minnesota, bedrock geology: MGS state
Map Series S-20, scale 1:1,000,000. Digital compilation by R.G. Tipping and
B.A. Lusardi.
