Crushed stone operations are facilities that extract, process, or
distribute crushed stone for construction. This map layer was compiled

Geological Survey (USGS) from information reported voluntarily to the USGS by the aggregate-producing
companies. This information is part of the Mineral
Resources Program,
which is responsible for providing and communicating current, unbiased
information on the occurrence, quality, quantity, and availability
of mineral resources.
The Crushed Stone Operations in the United States map layer shows
