The Mineral Development Atlas (MDA) was a joint project by the United State Geological Survey (USGS), the United States Bureau of Mines (USBM), and the state surveys of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa, and was launched in 1945 to gather information about mining and exploration in the lead-zinc district. The Atlas consists of section maps at 1:2400 scale showing exploration and mining activity in the lead-zinc district of the Upper Mississippi Valley. When the USGS offices in Platteville, WI closed, the Atlas was distributed to the states. The Wisconsin portion covers primarily Grant, Iowa, and Lafayette Counties, and WGNHS is currently working towards making the Wisconsin portion of the Atlas publicly available online....

This is a multifaceted collection of physical materials -- rock hand samples and rock thin sections-- and related paper documentation -- field notebooks, maps, and ledgerbooks -- created and collected by some of the premier geologists of the USGS from 1882 through the early 1920s. A database relating all of these materials can be viewed at https://wgnhs.wisc.edu/lake-superior-legacy-collection-website/.
This collection contains 10,463 cuttings sample sets from individual water wells throughout the state. These cuttings include more than 570,000 individual samples, representing 5-foot intervals, and collectively representing approximately 2.7 million linear feet of sub-surface geology.

The Atlas consists of section maps at 1:2400 scale showing exploration and mining activity in the area. In 1960, when the USGS offices in Platteville, WI closed, the Atlas was distributed to the states.

Hand specimens of rocks collected in and around Marathon County as part of a bedrock mapping project in the 1970s and 1980s. Specimens were collected by P.E. Myers and UW-Oshkosh geologist Gene LaBerge as part of the field work supporting WGNHS publication Information Circular 45: Precambrian Geology of Marathon County, 1983. The collection consists of about 1500 specimens taken from approximately 580 outcrop locations.
