Located in southeast Wisconsin, Jefferson County is almost entirely blanketed by sediments that were delivered or shaped by the ice sheet that covered this area during the last ice age. New mapping interprets the distribution of the bedrock surface that is buried beneath those glacial sediments as interpreted by three drill cores, over 13,000 well...

The geologic map of the Highland West and Highland East 7.5-minute quadrangles includes 1:24,000-scale mapping of both surficial and bedrock geology. Highland was a long-lived and important sub-district of the Upper Mississippi lead-zinc mining area in the 19th and 20th centuries. Recent and renewed interest in the presence and distrubution of critical...

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...

Dodge County lies in southeast Wisconsin, an area almost entirely covered by glacial deposits. This map interprets the distribution of the buried bedrock units across the county. Geologist Esther Stewart’s refinement of the bedrock elevation contours may help land-use planners identify areas most susceptible to groundwater contamination from applications...

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