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...

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...
