Welcome to the Superior Data Compilation which is a comprehensive dataset of integrated and standardized geospatial geological data within the Superior Craton. The compilation also presents relevant geospatial data released from several geological surveys for use in ArcGIS. The purpose of this compilation is to provide a platform for geoscientists to seamlessly visualize, interrogate, and investigate geological information across political boundaries. Datasets are available for download below or you may view layers via the interactive mapping application.
