Description: This data set features polygons that represent tax parcels in Aitkin County, Minnesota. Polygons are identified by Parcel Identification Number (PIN). Polygons were mapped using the legal description on file in the Recorder's Office.
Description: Wetland area features mapped as part of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI). The National Wetlands Inventory is a national program sponsored by the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The NWI database was funded jointly between the USFWS and the State. The base data was developed through interpretation of National Aerial Photography Program (NAPP) imagery (approx. 1:50,000 scale, typically color-infrared) in conjunction with limited field verification studies. Ancillary data sources, particularly USGS Quadrangle Maps and soil surveys, were also used in the interpretation process. After interpreting the aerial photographs, delineations were transferred to a 1:24,000 scale orthogonal base, digitized, and coded in conformance to the USFWS classification scheme and structured into a DLG format. The original interpretation/automation effort was performed under contract by GEONIX-MARTEL of St. Petersburg, FL. The data were delivered to LMIC, who converted it into an ARC/INFO format, and performed some additional processing to prepare it for distribution.

Description: WELLS is a shapefile of well locations created from wells listed in the Minnesota Geological Survey's County Well Index (CWI) data base. Specifically, this coverage contains wells for which the locations have been verified by the Minnesota Geological Survey, the Minnesota Department of Health, or another agency, and a well location has been obtained either by digitizing the location from a USGS 7.5-minute quadrangle map, by field survey, or by GPS location. Attribute information about the wells includes key fields from County Well Index, including owner name, use type, location, aquifer, and water levels. Additional descriptive information about the wells is found in the full County Well Index data set. The information in County Well Index was entered by the Minnesota Geological Survey from the Water Well Driller Log form, which was submitted by the well driller to the Minnesota Department of Health at the time the well was constructed. Submission of a Water Well Driller Log is a requirement of the Minnesota Water Well Construction Code, passed by the State Legislature in 1974. While the County Well Index does not represent all wells in the state, it is the single most complete listing of wells. Accuracy and completeness of CWI are discussed elsewhere in this document.
