Try the Dept. of Geology at the Univeristy of Minnesota-Twin Cities
or at UM-Duluth (if they have one).  You may also want to try the 
MN Dept. of Natural Resources.  I don't know where you can get aerial
photographs of this, tho.  Maybe the Geography Dept. @ the UM-TC.

BTW, where is this?  I'm from northeastern MN.
