Chapters: Driftless Area, New Madrid Seismic Zone, 2008 Illinois earthquake, Pre-Illinoian, Sangamonian, Borden Formation, Maquoketa Group, Laurentide ice sheet, Michigan Basin, Wabash Valley Seismic Zone, Illinois Basin, Mahomet Aquifer, Lake Chicago, New Albany Shale, St. Peter Sandstone, Menfro, Sankoty Aquifer, Thornton Quarry, Park Forest, Shawnee Hills, Decorah Shale, Drummer, Des Plaines crater, Glasford crater. Excerpt: The Driftless Area or Paleozoic Plateau is a region in the American Midwest noted mainly for its deeply carved river valleys. While primarily in southwestern Wisconsin, it includes areas of southeastern Minnesota, northeastern Iowa and extreme northwestern Illinois (see map at right). This region includes elevations ranging from 603 to 1,719 feet (184 to 524 m) and covers an area of 16,203 square miles (42,000 km). This region's peculiar terrain is due to its having escaped glaciation in the last glacial period. The term driftless indicates a lack of glacial drift, the material left behind by retreating continental glaciers. Typical terrain of The Driftless Area as viewed from Wildcat Mountain State Park in Vernon County, WisconsinRetreating glaciers leave behind silt, clay, sand, gravel, and boulders - called drift. Glacial drift includes till (unsorted material) and outwash (layers deposited by meltwater streams). While some glacial drift has been discovered, this is said to be of Pre-Illinoian age about 500,000 years old. What is clear is that the region has been subject to the regular catastrophic effects of glacial lake outburst floods involving the cataclysmic collapse of ice dams holding in such bodies as Glacial Lake Agassiz, Glacial Lake Grantsburg, and Glacial Lake Duluth (see Jökulhlaup). The earlier local phases of the Wisconsinan glaciation are poorly understood, but the last involved several major lobes, the Des Moines lobe, which flowed down to Iowa's capital city on the west, the Superior lobe (and its sublobes) on the north and the Green Bay lobe and Lake Michigan lobes on the east. The northern and eastern lobes were in part diverted around the area by the Watersmeet Dome, an exceedingly ancient uplifted area of Cambrian rock underlain by basalt. The Green Bay and Lake Michigan lobes were also partially blocked by the bedrock of the Door Peninsula, which presently separates Green Bay from Lake Michigan.
