The map and the accompanying text and supplemental illustrations provide a regional overview of the areal distributions and characteristics of surficial deposits and materials of Quaternary age (~1.8 Ma to present) in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The map is not a map of soils as soils are recognized in agriculture. Rather, it is a map of soils as recognized in engineering geology, or of substrata or parent materials in which agricultural soils are formed. The map units are distinguished chiefly on the basis of (1)genesis (processes of origin) or environments of deposition: for example, sediments deposited primarily by glacial ice (glacial deposits or till), sediments deposited in lakes (lacustrine deposits), or sediments deposited by wind (eolian deposits); (2) age: for example, how long ago the deposits accumulated; (3) texture (grain size)of the deposits or materials; (4) composition (particle lithology) of the deposits or materials; (5) thickness; and (6) other physical, chemical, and engineering properties. Supplemental illustrations show (1) temporal correlation of the map units, (2) the areal relationships of late Wisconsin glacial ice lobes and sublobes, (3) temporal and spatial correlation of late Wisconsin glacial phases, readvance limits, and ice margin stillstands, (4) temporal and stratigraphic correlation of surface and subsurface glacial deposits in the Winnipeg quadrangle and in adjacent 4° × 6° quadrangles, and (5) responsibility for state and province compilations. The database provides information related to geologic hazards (for example, materials that are characterized by expansive clay minerals; landslide deposits or landslide-prone deposits), natural resources (for example, sources of aggregate, peat, and clay; potential shallow sources of groundwater), and areas of environmental concern (for example, areas that are potentially suitable for specific ecosystem habitats; areas of potential soil and groundwater contamination). All of these aspects of the database relate directly to land use, management, and policy. The map, text, and accompanying illustrations provide a database of regional scope related to geologic history, climatic changes, the stratigraphic and chronologic frameworks of surface and subsurface deposits and materials of Quaternary age, and other problems and concerns. Purpose: The primary objectives were (1) to produce a map of surficial deposits and materials of Quaternary age in the Winnipeg 4° × 6° quadrangle, integrating the Quaternary geology across the International Boundary between North Dakota and Minnesota (in the United States), and Manitoba and Saskatchewan (in Canada), and (2) to compile descriptive information related to the deposits and materials. Based on that integration of data, a secondary objective was to reconstruct the stratigraphic and chronologic frameworks of the surface and subsurface glacial deposits and to reconstruct the glacial history in the region. The data set is a compilation and a synthesis of available data from the region. Because of the generalization required to produce a map at 1:1 million scale, the map is intended for regional analysis, rather than for detailed analysis in specific areas. Supplemental_Information: The map data were compiled from many sources, including maps at scales as large as 1:24,000. Sources of information are listed in a 16-page pamphlet that accompanies the printed edition of the map. The pamphlet is also available online as a PDF file that accompanies the browse graphic for the map. Most of the original map data were compiled at 1:250,000 scale by the compilers. Those data were provided to the editor/integrator by the compilers, at either 1:250,000 scale, 1:500,000 scale, or 1:1,000,000 scale. Data provided at smaller scales were photographically reduced to 1:1,000,000 scale by the editor/integrator. The source data were greatly simplified or generalized for the purposes of this compilation. Consequently, this map, at 1:1,000,000 scale, is intended to be used for regional analysis, rather than for detailed analysis of specific areas in the region. The digital file was prepared at 1:1,000,000 nominal viewing scale. If the map is enlarged to larger scales (for example, 1:250,000, 1:100,000, or 1:24,000 scale), resolution of the map data is greatly diminished. Enlargement will not restore resolution that was lost by simplification or generalization of data.

Fullerton, U.S. Geological Survey, Susan M. Ringrose, Manitoba Department of Energy and Mines, Lee Clayton, North Dakota Geological Survey, Bryan T. Schreiner, Saskatchewan Research Council, and Joseph E. Goebel, Minnesota Geological Survey; the state and province compilations were edited and integrated by David S. Fullerton; the draft compilation was converted to digital form by Techni Graphic Systems, Inc., of Fort Collins, CO, under contract with the U.S. Geological Survey, and by Nancy Shock, U.S. Geological Survey. The map was edited and the digitized product proofread by Diane E. Lane, U.S. Geological Survey. Native_Data_Set_Environment: ARC/INFO v. 7.2.1, Solaris 2.6. Data_Quality_Information: Attribute_Accuracy: Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Compilation of geologic data: The accuracy of the map data is dependent on (1) the accuracy of the original source data, (2) the accuracy of transfer of that data to larger scale bases by the compilers, (3) the procedures by which the compilers and the editor/integrator simplified or generalized the data, and (4) the procedures used by, and the objectivity exercised by, the editor/integrator in integration of adjacent parts of the map that were prepared by different compilers. Consequently, aspects of accuracy for the data set cannot be quantified. Digitization and attributing of hand-drafted compilation: Digitizing contractor scanned source stable-base material, vectorized scan, attributed files from author drafting and annotations, and produced check plots and coverages. First author and map editor proofread check plots, and digital map specialist reviewed digital files. Digitizing contractor corrected attributing as needed and produced new check plots. Digital map specialist and editor proofread new check plots and reviewed digital files, making final corrections as needed; editor imported files into graphics program to prepare cartographic product. First author proofread cartographic product (the map sheet layout and pamphlet). This map was thoroughly reviewed for conformity with U.S. Geological Survey editorial standards and stratigraphic nomenclature. Logical_Consistency_Report: Most of the map data were compiled from published and unpublished maps at larger scales. The map data, text information, and data used to produce the supplemental illustrations were obtained from many sources, listed in "Sources of Information." The map and text data provided by the compilers were integrated by the editor, and supplemental data (for example, some of the symbols on the map), from listed sources, were added by the editor. The data were compiled and integrated in 1976-85, 1987, and 1990-96. The time period represented by specific data is not specified. Completeness_Report: The map data from Manitoba in the northeastern part of the quadrangle and in the eastern part of the quadrangle north of Minnesota were derived primarily from a single source (Nielsen, Erik, Ringrose, S.M., Matile, G.L.D., Groom, Heather, Mihychuk, M.A., and Conley, G.G., 1981, Surficial Geologic Map of Manitoba: Manitoba Department of Energy and Mines Mineral Resources Map 81-1, scale 1:1,000,000). The compiler for that region was not available to update that compilation in 1990-96, and most of the other sources of information related to that region in Manitoba (listed in "Sources of Information") were not available to the editor. Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The accuracy of location of polygons, lines, and points is consistent with the map scale of 1:1,000,000.

Overview_Description: Entity_and_Attribute_Overview: The dataset for the Winnipeg quadrangle consists of seven coverages: >grfx_pnt >geo_net >stru_lin >geo_pnt >pnt_sym >data_pnt >data_net The coverage grfx_pnt is not a "true" ARC/INFO coverage. It contains graphic representations of symbols used on the geologic map and included in the coverages data_pnt, geo_pnt, and pnt_sym. The dataset also includes grfx_pnt.dxf, a dxf file derived from grfx_pnt, and wingx.shp, a shapefile derived from grfx_pnt.dxf. The file wingx.shp is readily imported into graphics programs and will import as the graphics symbols shown on the printed edition of the map layout and in the pdf file that accompanies the dataset.
