Geologic Map of the Durwards Glen 7.5-Minute Quadrangle, Columbia and Sauk Counties, Wisconsin
The Durwards Glen 7.5-minute quadrangle map is located in Columbia and Sauk counties, southeast of the city of Baraboo. This geologic map includes Precambrian through Quaternary units. New mapping has focused on subdividing the Baraboo Quartzite into four separate members and delineating Quaternary deposits in greater detail than prior work.-

Quaternary Geology of Waupaca County, Wisconsin
The Quaternary geologic map of Waupaca County, Wisconsin, provides details about the surficial sediment and landscapes that were formed underneath and adjacent to the Laurentide Ice Sheet during the late Wisconsin Glaciation (ca. 20,000 years before present). These landscapes include lowlands underlain by glacial and postglacial lake sediment, uplands...-

The Driftless Area: The extent of unglaciated and similar terrains in Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota
The Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin and northwestern Illinois got its name from the lack of glacial sediment ("drift") covering the landscape. The surficial geology and topography of the Driftless Area are thus distinct from the surrounding region where multiple phases of glaciation left their mark. This pamphlet, a collaborative effort between...-

Quaternary Geology of Jefferson County, Wisconsin
The Quaternary geologic map of Jefferson County, Wisconsin, provides details about the surficial sediment and landscapes that were formed largely in the footprint of the Laurentide Ice Sheet's southern Green Bay Lobe during the late Wisconsin Glaciation (ca. 20,000 years before present). These landscapes include lowlands underlain by glacial and...-

Geologic map of the Castle Rock and Long Hollow 7.5-minute quadrangles, Grant County, Wisconsin
The geologic map of the Castle Rock and Long Hollow quadrangles includes 1:24,000 scale mapping of both surficial and bedrock geology. The accompanying report presents new observations about bedrock folds and fracture sets in this portion of the Driftless Area that lies just north of the main Upper Mississippi Valley zinc-lead mineral district. The...-

Quaternary Geology of Fond du Lac County, Wisconsin
The Quaternary geology of Fond du Lac County consists of glacial deposits and landforms dating to the last part of the Wisconsin Glaciation (ca. 20,000 to 12,000 yr BP) and nonglacial deposits and landforms of Holocene age (11,700 yr BP to present). Glacial till and meltwater sediment were deposited by the Green Bay and Lake Michigan Lobes of the...-

Quaternary Geology of Columbia, Green Lake, and Marquette Counties, Wisconsin
Columbia, Green Lake, and Marquette Counties were glaciated during the last ice age, and large areas were inundated with water from proglacial lakes and large meltwater rivers that occupied the valleys of the existing Wisconsin and Fox Rivers. These processes resulted in rolling upland hills, including drumlins punctuated by low-lying areas dominated by...-

Quaternary Geology of Oneida County, Wisconsin
Oneida County, in northern Wisconsin, is a mostly forested area dotted with lakes and wetlands. The watery landscape is a legacy of a time when glaciers flowed across the area. Geologists Attig and Rawling mapped the Quaternary geology of the county, documenting where the glaciers paused, the sediments that were deposited, and the landforms that were...-

3-D Wisconsin
When viewed with 3-D glasses, Wisconsin’s land features pop off the page. Brief descriptions of major land forms paint the geologic history that shaped the state; expanded descriptions and photos are online. We’ve field-tested this map on fourth graders and can attest to its appeal. Sizes: 27.5 x 32 inches, 8.5 x 11 inches. Requires red-blue 3-D glasses. -
