How to get started

Take a look at this interactive GIS map (click here) and zoom in (Tip: your mouse wheel works great for that).

Wondering how to use it?  For starts:

Look for locations marked with a red or orange X.  Tap on them and see what pops up.  As of today, almost 300 of these locations are mapped across Wisconsin, marking interesting geologic outcrops or formations. If you're in Wisconsin or planning a visit, look for formations near you and tap on them.

Playing with the map in this manner is a great way to introduce yourself to this project and to Wisconsin's geology.

The popups include a summary, description, and significance. Not sure what some of the terms mean? No worries, future blog posts will help.  Interested in visiting any of these sites yourself?  Click the link to get driving/hiking directions on your smart phone.
