This book focuses on the development of three-dimensional stack-unit mapping of the glaciated portions of Illinois, discussing techniques for preparing and presenting these maps, their many uses, limitations to the method, and the potential for further development. The author traces the evolution of these mapping techniques and notes that stack-unit maps show the geologic framework of an area in three dimensions, depicting not only the areal distribution of geologic deposits and formations, but also their vertical distribution from the ground surface to a designated depth. The value of such a map is that it includes, in a convenient, immediately comprehensible format, information on the area, depth, and thickness of all geologic materials significant for many specific uses. This book will interest specialists in the field, students, researchers, and policymakers interested in resource development and environmental issues.
