Bedrock Geology of Grant County, Wisconsin

Three-dimensional bedrock mapping of Grant County at a scale of 1:100,000 provides new baseline information on the distribution of geologic units. Grant County contains Paleozoic bedrock units ranging in age from Silurian to Cambrian. Gentle folds and small faults deform the Paleozoic sequence and were mapped based on structure contours of the base of the...

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...
