For optimal visualization, overlay the data on high-resolution digital elevation models (DEMs) from the USGS to emphasize terrain\u2013geology relationships.<\/p>\n<h2>Resolution and Coverage<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1504\" data-end=\"1551\">Surficial geology raster: 10-meter resolution<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1554\" data-end=\"1597\">Physiographic regions: vector delineation<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1600\" data-end=\"1675\">Geographic extent: Des Moines Lobe and surrounding landform regions in Iowa<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stackable-column stk-block-column stk-column stk-block stk-ce9246d\" data-v=\"4\" data-block-id=\"ce9246d\"><div class=\"stk-column-wrapper stk-block-column__content stk-container stk-ce9246d-container stk--no-background stk--no-padding\"><div class=\"stk-block-content stk-inner-blocks stk-ce9246d-inner-blocks\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"557\" src=\"https:\/\/www.agron.iastate.edu\/glsi\/files\/2025\/04\/DML_physiography-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13946\" style=\"width:450px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.agron.iastate.edu\/glsi\/files\/2025\/04\/DML_physiography-1.png 360w, https:\/\/www.agron.iastate.edu\/glsi\/files\/2025\/04\/DML_physiography-1-194x300.png 194w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-container ugb-container ugb-d1207b7 ugb-container--v2 ugb-container--design-plain ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-d1207b7 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:center}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-d1207b7.ugb-container{margin-bottom:0px !important}}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-d1207b7 > .ugb-inner-block > .ugb-block-content > *{padding-top:0px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-container__wrapper ugb-d1207b7-wrapper\"><div class=\"ugb-container__side\"><div class=\"ugb-container__content-wrapper ugb-d1207b7-content-wrapper\"><div class=\"paragraph-widget paragraph-widget--text-html\">\n\t<div class=\"text-content\">\n\t\t<h2 class=\"text-align-center\">GIS Map Folder Download<\/h2>\n<p class=\"text-align-center\">Click the button below to access the GIS data.<\/p>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.agron.iastate.edu\/glsi\/?ddownload=4125\" title=\"Download\" rel=\"nofollow\" class=\"ddownload-button button-yellow id-4125 ext-\">Download<\/a>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"paragraph-widget paragraph-widget--text-html\">\n\t<div class=\"text-content\">\n\t\t<h2>GIS Map Details<\/h2>\n<p>This raster is a highly detailed map of geologic materials at the surface (delineations made from maps at 1:24,000 to 1:12,000 scale). The smaller extent maps were merged together by USDA-NRCS to produce the gSSURGO spatial database, covering the entire state at a 10m resolution. The gSSURGO map was then interpreted by Iowa State University\u2019s Geospatial Laboratory for Soil Informatics (GLSI) for parent material, which is equivalent to the geologic material to a depth of 2 meters from the surface. Surficial material attributes were extracted from the NRCS official soil series descriptions (OSD), but at times some additional interpretation was needed based on typical soil profile properties and spatial relationships with better-defined soil series. Because of the common relationship between surficial geology and topography, digital elevation models would be complementary to this data set. Draping this surfical geology data set over hillshades derived from fine resolution elevation data works especially well.<\/p>\n<h2>References<\/h2>\n<div class=\"paragraph-widget paragraph-widget--text-html\">\n<div class=\"text-content\">\n<p>Miller, B.A., C.L.
