Poorly to moderately well-sorted sand and gravel; surface has moderate- to high-relief (greater than 10 m) hummocky topography; deposited on and beneath glacial ice by meltwater streams near ice margin; sediment later collapsed to produce hummocky topography as underlying ice melted.

Holy Hill Formation, New Berlin Member: Gravel and sand in outwash terraces. Moderately well-sorted, well-stratified gravel and sand. Less than 20 percent of original stream bed interrupted by depressions formed by melting ice blocks. Deposited by braided streams near the glacier margin, then surface abandoned as streams downcut.
