Abstract
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Geological Survey has completed a reconnaissance map showing areas of mineable bedrock, including shale, limestone, and dolomite, likely covered by thin surficial materials (glacial drift) in the Findlay, Ohio, 30 x 50-minute (1:1,100,000-scale) quadrangle. The main purpose of this map was to create a reconnaissance-level map that shows the potential for mining carbonate and shale bedrock in this quadrangle. We sought to create this map from as many existing ODNR Division of Geological Survey maps and GIS datasets as possible. The map shows areas of surficial materials in increments of 10 ft and totaling less than 40 ft overlying Silurian- and Devonian-age dolomite and limestone, and it also shows a limited area in the southeastern most portion of the quadrangle where surficial materials (totaling less than 20 ft) overlay potential Devonian-age shale resources.
