Geological surface map of Denmark 1:25.000, version 6

The digital geological map shows the surface geology. The map is a result of the systematic geological mapping of Denmark. The map is digitized from maps originating from fieldwork, where sediment samples are collected at 1m depth using a hand auger with a sample spacing of 100 - 200 m. This version 6 from 2021 classifies 91 % of Denmark's area. The map is supplemented in an ongoing process. The legend shows 82 different sediment types. The map is published in GEUS report 2021/68, where further information is available in Danish.
