This service shows an overview of Sweden's bedrock and soils (meaning unconsolidated deposits) in the scale of 1:1M. The service contains layers showing bedrock lithology, dyke swarms, bedrock structures and unconsolidated deposits (mainly quaternary) covering the whole of Sweden. The information is complied from various surveys and existing maps throughout the country, and is a highly generalised product intended to give an overview on a national level.

Available map layers (4)

SWE SGU 1:1M Superficial Lithology (SWE_SGU_1M_SLT)

This map outlines the main features of Sweden's soils (meaning unconsolidated deposits), dominated by Quaternary deposits, and is composed of data from several mapping campaigns, performed over decades. Due to variation of quality and scales of different mapping campaigns the level of accuracy in the underlying national database is variable. Since the database is designed for, and the map is presented in, the 1:1M scale, some features are drastically generalized. For example gaciofluvial sediments in eskers are strongly exaggerated for distinct appearance and the designation 'outcrop' applies to completely exposed bedrock, areas with a a thin cover of soil and areas with closely grouped outcrops.

SWE SGU 1:1M Bedrock Lithology (SWE_SGU_1M_BLT)

This dataset shows bedrock areas defined by rock types and ages. The bedrock areas are also assigned to tectonic units. The map is composed of data resulting from several mapping campaigns, performed over decades, compiled and archived in digital format, published or prepared in manuscript format between 1989 and 2001. Due to the variation of quality and scales of different mapping campaigns the level of accuracy in the underlying national database is variable. The database is designed for presentation in the 1:1M scale.

SWE SGU 1:1M Bedrock Lithology Dykes (SWE_SGU_1M_BLTD)

This dataset shows dyke swarms defined by rock types and ages. The map is composed of data resulting from several mapping campaigns, performed over decades, compiled and archived in digital format, published or prepared in manuscript format between 1989 and 2001. Due to the variation of quality and scales of different mapping campaigns the level of accuracy in the underlying national database is variable. The database is designed for presentation in the 1:1M scale.

SWE SGU 1:1M Bedrock Structures (SWE_SGU_1M_BST)

This dataset shows tectonic structures. The map is composed of data resulting from several mapping campaigns, performed over decades, compiled and archived in digital format, published or prepared in manuscript format between 1989 and 2001. Due to the variation of quality and scales of different mapping campaigns the level of accuracy in the underlying national database is variable. The database is designed for presentation in the 1:1M scale.
