About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ... Thus, it is conceived, many of the peculiar hillocks and hollows which characterize terminal moraines may have arisen. Some of the depressions probably arose in another way. When the edge of the ice retreated, considerable detached masses of ice might be left beyond the main body. This might be buried by gravel and sand washed out from the moraine. On melting, the former sites of such blocks of ice would be marked by "kettles." In the marginal accumulations of drift as first deposited, considerable quantities of ice were doubtless left. When this melted, the drift settled and the unequal settling may have given rise to some of the topographic irregularities of the drift. The terminal moraine about Devil's lake.--On the lower lands, the terminal moraine of the Devil's lake region has tha features characteristic of terminal moraines in general. It is a belt of thick drift varying in width from half a mile or less to three-quarters of a mile or more. Its surface is marked by numerous hills and short ridges, with intervening depressions or "kettles." Some of the depressions among the hills contain water, making ponds or marshes, though the rather loose texture of the drift of this region is not favorable to the retention of water. The moraine belt, as a whole, is higher than the land on either side. It is therefore somewhat ridge-like, and the small, short hills and ridges which mark its surface, are but constituent parts of the larger, broader ridge. Approached from the west, that is from the driftless side, the moraine on the lower lands is a somewhat prominent topographic feature, often appearing as a ridge thirty, forty or even fifty feet in height. Approached from the opposite direction, that is, from the ground...
