7. Till over ice-contact deposits: Consist of poorly sorted sand and gravel; layers of silty sand to cobble gravel; little to no shale; deposited be meltwater flowing on, under, or adjacent to the ice. gsiIce-walled lake deposits: Lacustrine sediment consisting of predominantly very fine- to medium- grained sand. Interpreted to have been deposited in a lake within stagnant ice. As the ice melted, the lake sediment remained as a high plateau on the landscape. iw

8. Till/sand complex: Mixture of sediments including till, ice-contact sand and gravel, and minor lacustrine deposits gc Glacial lake deposits: Lacustrine sediment consisting of very fine- to medium-grained sand; no gravel. In places the fine-grained sand has been sculpted by wind to form dunes. gl

9. Till- Unsorted sediment consisting of pebbles (abundant, cobbles (common), and boulders (rare) in a loamy matrix; pockets of silt, sand,and gravel in places. dt Alluvium – terrace deposits: Fluvial sediments laid down during early, high stages of the Mississippi River and preserved as terraces above the modern floodplain. Predominantly medium – to coarse-grained sand with up to 40 percent gravel. tl

10. Alluvium – terrace deposits: Fluvial sediments laid down during early, high stages of the Mississippi River and preserved as terraces above the modern floodplain. Predominantly medium – to coarse- grained sand with up to 40 percent gravel. Alluvium – floodplain deposits: River-channel, overbank, and slackwater sediments consisting predominantly medium- to coarse-grained sand; interbedded with sandy loam to silt loam; layers of sand and gravel. Organic debris may be disseminated in the sediments and/or form discrete peat beds. tl al tu tc
