Maiden Rock is a small "river town" along the banks of the Mississippi. Lower elevations expose Cambrian sandstone and siltstone, notably the quartz sandstone of the Jordan formation. Bluff tops are underlain by resistant Ordovician Prairie du Chien Group dolostones. The Jordan formation has been extensive worked for silica sand and "frac" sand, with underground mining producing miles of tunnels under the bluffs near town. The Prairie du Chien Group rocks are quarried for crushed stone and similar uses. Fresh water pearls can be found in the Mississippi and its tributaries. Glacial drift and modern alluvium can yield "Lake Superior" agates and other glacially transported materials.
