Abstract
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), Division of Geological Survey has completed a reconnaissance map showing areas of mineable sand and gravel resources in the Mansfield, Ohio, 30 x 60 minute (scale 1:100,000) quadrangle. The main purpose of this map was to create a reconnaissance-level map that would show the potential for mining sand and gravel in this quadrangle. The map shows areas of surficial materials in increments of 10 feet and then differentiates sand, sand and gravel, and ice-contact deposits from finer grained materials, such as glacial till, lacustrine clay and silt, and alluvial materials. The sand and sand-and-gravel units include both surficial and buried outwash and valley train deposits and ice-contact deposits, such as kames, kame terraces, and eskers. To determine if a sand-and-gravel deposit was economically viable, this map shows the total thickness or accumulation of sand and gravel in the Mansfield 30 x 60-minute quadrangle.
