This 1:500,000 scale map of Wisconsin depicts sediment deposited by glaciers, streams, wind, and other processes during the Quaternary Period (2.58 million years ago to present). The map was made by compiling detailed Quaternary mapping and lithostratigraphic studies previously conducted by the WGNHS to generate consistent statewide Quaternary map units....

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...

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...

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.

At different times in the past three billion years, mountains and volcanoes stood tall in Wisconsin, shallow seas covered much of the state, and glaciers plowed across the landscape. This educational poster vividly brings our past to life. Ideal for classrooms. Size: 27 x 39 inches.

Shows the features (such as drumlins, moraines, and eskers) created by the southern Green Bay Lobe of the Laurentide Ice Sheet in southeastern Wisconsin.

Shows the elevation of Wisconsin through the use of color and shaded relief. Includes explanatory text about the geologic history of the state and more detailed information about 12 of the most prominent features. Poster map scale 1:500,000. Size: 42 x 42 inches.

Color map showing outwash, ground moraine, end moraine, and glacial deposits.

Details the major glacial landforms of Wisconsin. Identifies where and what kind of rocks and soil debris were deposited in Wisconsin during the Ice Age.
