Mapping Soil Borings
The shapefile, borings.shp, represents each core location as a point. The shapefile's attribute data are documented in the table below. After field work is completed, Consultants must contact Dr. Elizabeth Hobbs (651/366- 3611 or elizabeth.hobbs@state.mn.us) for unique IDs to assign to the boring logs and GIS records.
Attribute Table Definitions for borings.shp
| Field Name | Type | Length | Precision | Scale | Values |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ID | Text | 6 | 0 | 0 | Unique ID for each soil boring within this survey. ID must be in the format yyXXnn where: yy is the last two digits of the year the core was taken. XX is the two letter county code (same code used by SHPO) nn is a sequence number assigned by MnDOT. For example, the first boring taken in Goodhue County in 2011 would have the ID '11GD01'. |
