Geological map of Saxony 1 : 50 000

The map work "Digital Geological Map of Saxony (GK50 dig)" consists of the separately created maps "Digital Geological Map of Ice Age Covered Areas of Saxony 1 : 50 000 (ice age map)" (edited 1991-1999, digital 2005) in the northern part of Saxony and the mapbook "Digitale Geologische Karte Erzgebirge/Vogtland 1 : 50 000 (GK50-dig E/V) (2003-2008)" in the southern part. The map sheets of the Ice Age Map are developed as a surface map mainly from the contents of the Lithofazieskarten Quartär (LKQ) and can be viewed as a surface map to the horizon map representations of the LKQ. The basis for the GK50-dig E/V were the GK100 Erzgebirge/Vogtland, the newly mapped geological maps of the last 25 years, as well as unpublished reports, reports and maps from the archives of the State Office. The map set DK50-dig E/V consists of a prequartier layer (quarterly covered) and a quaternary layer, both of which together form the surface map.
