If you represent a county not included in this dataset and would like to opt-in, please contact Heather Albrecht (Heather.Albrecht@hennepin.us), co-chair of the Minnesota Geospatial Advisory Council (GAC)’s Parcels and Land Records Committee's Open Data Subcommittee. County parcel data does not need to be in the GAC parcel data standard to be included. MnGeo will map the county fields to the GAC standard.

County parcel data records have been assembled into a single dataset with a common coordinate system (UTM Zone 15) and common attribute schema. The county parcel data attributes have been mapped to the GAC parcel data standard for Minnesota: https://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/standards/parcel_attrib/parcel_attrib.html

This compiled parcel dataset was created using Python code developed by Minnesota state agency GIS professionals, and represents a best effort to map individual county source file attributes into the common attribute schema of the GAC parcel data standard. The attributes from counties are mapped to the most appropriate destination column. In some cases, the county source files included attributes that were not mapped to the GAC standard. Additionally, some county attribute fields were parsed and mapped to multiple GAC standard fields, such as a single line address. Each quarter, MnGeo provides a text file to counties that shows how county fields are mapped to the GAC standard. Additionally, this text file shows the fields that are not mapped to the standard and those that are parsed. If a county shares changes to how their data should be mapped, MnGeo updates the compilation. If you represent a county and would like to update how MnGeo is mapping your county attribute fields to this compiled dataset, please contact us.

This dataset is a snapshot of parcel data, and the source date of the county data may vary. Users should consult County websites to see the most up-to-date and complete parcel data.

There have been recent changes in date/time fields, and their processing, introduced by our software vendor. In some cases, this has resulted in date fields being empty. We are aware of the issue and are working to correct it for future parcel data releases.

DOWNLOAD NOTES: This dataset is only provided in Esri File Geodatabase and OGC GeoPackage formats. A shapefile is not available because the size of the dataset exceeds the limit for that format. The distribution version of the fgdb is compressed to help reduce the data footprint. QGIS users should consider using the Geopackage format for better results.

This dataset is a compilation of address point data from Minnesota suppliers that have opted-in for their address point data to be included in this dataset.

It includes the following 42 suppliers (51 counties) that have opted-in to share their data openly as of the publication date of this dataset: Metropolitan Emergency Services Board (10 county), Aitkin County, Becker County, Benton County, Big Stone County, Carlton County, Cass County, Chippewa County, Clay County, Cook County, Crow Wing County, Douglas County, Fillmore County, Grant County, Houston County, Itasca County, Jackson County, Koochiching County, Lac qui Parle County, Lake County, Lake of the Woods County, Le Sueur County, Lyon County, Marshall County, McLeod County, Morrison County, Mower County, Murray County , Otter Tail County, Pipestone County, Polk County, Pope County, Renville County, Rock County, Saint Louis County, Stearns County, Stevens County, Wabasha County, Waseca County, Winona County, Wright County, Yellow Medicine County

Metropolitan Emergency Services Board counties: Anoka County, Carver County, Chisago County, Dakota County, Hennepin County, Isanti County, Ramsey County, Scott County, Sherburne County, Washington County

The two sources of address point data are the Minnesota Next Generation 9-1-1 (NG9-1-1) Program, in collaboration with local data suppliers, and the MetroGIS Metro Address Points Dataset which is on the Minnesota Geospatial Commons:

The Minnesota NG9-1-1 Program enterprise database provides the data outside of the Metro Region which is provide by the suppliers. The data have been aggregated into a single dataset which implements the MN NG9-1-1 GIS Data Model (https://ng911gis-minnesota.hub.arcgis.com/documents/79beb1f9bde84e84a0fa9b74950f7589/about ).

Only data which have meet the requirements for supporting NG9-1-1 are in the statewide aggregate GIS data. MnGeo extracts the available data, applies domain translations, and transforms it to UTM Zone 15 to comply with the GAC Address Point attribute schema: https://www.mngeo.state.mn.us/committee/address/address_standard.html.

The MetroGIS Metro Address Points Dataset was created by a joint collaborative project involving the technical and managerial GIS staff from the ten Metropolitan Counties (Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, and Washington), the Metropolitan Emergency Services Board, MetroGIS and the Metropolitan Council. The data are pulled in from the Minnesota Geospatial Commons: https://gisdata.mn.gov/dataset/us-mn-state-metrogis-loc-address-points

‘Supplier’ is a term used throughout this document. A supplier will typically be a county, but it could also be a public safety answering point (PSAP), region, or tribal nation. The supplier is the agency which provides the individual datasets for the aggregated dataset. The loc_addresses_open_metadata feature layer will contain the geometry/shape of the supplier boundaries, supplier name, supplier type, and feature count.

Aggregation Process:
1. Download address location data from the NG9-1-1 Enterprise database.
2. Download the latest data from the Geospatial Commons for MetroGIS.
3. Extract, Translate, and Load (ETL) the data to the GAC Address Point Standard schema.
4. Combine NG9-1-1 data with MetroGIS data.
5. Filter the data for the Opt-In suppliers

Depicts addressed structures within St. Louis County. Address points are generally placed near the rooftop centroid or, in the case of larger buildings, near the addressed doorway/structure access. Most addressed structures in this feature class are convential buildings, but addresses are also sometimes assigned to: Recreational vehicles, construction trailers, and mobile homes. Permanent campsites or outdoor facilities, Outdoor sports areas, Trailhead parking lots, Gravel pits, and Telematics Communications towers. Limitations: Addresses within cities, Greenwood Township, and on reservations. The custodians of this feature class (St. Louis County 9-1-1 Communications) administer addressing in rural areas of St. Louis County, not within incorporated municipalities, American Indian Resrvations, or Greenwood Township. Therefore addresses depicted within cities (including Duluth), on reservations, and in Greenwood Township are based on secondhand information and are less likely to be current or accurate. Sub-Addresses: Although it is a future goal, this feature class does not yet contain accurate sub-addresses (i.e. 1234 Spruce Ave, Unit C).Metadata

The bulk of the thin sections in the database are poorly located or not located at all, as they temporally span the entire history of the Minnesota Geological Survey. However many of the thin sections constructed since the 1970's can be fairly easily located via old field maps and notebooks on file at the Minnesota Geological Survey. Due to the overwhelming number of sections they have been located on an 'as-needed' basis, meaning that as we progress through different mapping project areas, every attempt was made to properly locate where the sample for the thin section was taken. Several hundred thin sections have been located, mainly in northeastern Minnesota in Cook and Lake Counties, in central St. Louis County, and Itasca County. All thin sections that were made since the advent of GIS and GPS are already located, having been stored with the data for individual mapping projects.

BEDROCK GEOLOGIC MAP OF THE ARROWHEAD AREA, ST. LOUIS AND LAKE COUNTIES, MINNESOTA. Full set of digital files (GIS) and documentation can be found at the University of Minnesota.This Open-File Report (OFR) is a repository for on-going mapping in Lake and St. Louis counties that began in 2015 and will be largely completed by 2020. It contains preliminary bedrock and surficial geologic maps and associated products covering parts, and eventually all of the two counties. Because the counties are large, they have been divided for mapping purposes into subareas, each containing the name Arrowhead. Surficial maps are divided into 4 subareas referred to here as the Central (content prefixed “CA,” 2016, 2017); Southeastern (SeA, 2017, 2018); Southwestern (SwA), and Northern Arrowhead (NA) areas. Bedrock maps and associated files cover 3 subareas referred to as Central (CA, 2016); Southern (SA, 2017); and Northern Arrowhead (NA, 2018). Note that the boundaries of NA subareas differ somewhat between the surficial and bedrock maps. Products within this Open File Report include bedrock geologic maps, surficial geologic maps, bedrock topography and depth to bedrock maps, Quaternary stratigraphy, sand distribution models, corresponding GIS files, and other digital content. Ancillary files such as technical reports, geophysical imagery and models, and geochronologic data are included for bedrock mapping in the 3 bedrock subareas. Once these preliminary products are complete, the data and interpretations will be recombined into County Geologic Atlases that will supersede this OFR.
