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...

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...

The Ice Age Geology of Devils Lake State Park

Devils Lake State Park is a place of striking geologic contrasts, where some of the oldest rock exposed in southern Wisconsin lies next to some of the youngest geologic materials in the state. The purple rock (called Baraboo quartzite) in the walls of Devils Lake gorge is more than 1.7 billion years old; the glacially deposited ridges that block both ends...

Pleistocene Geology of Kewaunee County, Wisconsin

Kewaunee County, at the southern end of the Door Peninsula, was overrun by glaciers many times. Author Lee Clayton describes the county's complex glacial geology, from the surface soil down to solid rock. The accompanying map shows the placement of glacial sediments as well as glacial and post-glacial stream and lake sediments.
