Explore the glacial story of the Wheaton area—from ancient seas to shifting ice fronts that shaped its topography. This detailed field-based study translates rock and soil clues into a clear picture of how glaciers carved and built the land you see today.

The book presents the Wheaton quadrangle’s geologic history, including pre-glacial conditions, the great North American glaciation, and the post-glacial changes that followed. It explains the ground moraine, terminal moraine, and outwash features with careful observations, maps, and straightforward explanations suitable for residents, students, and teachers alike.

Clear descriptions of drift types, thickness, and deposition paths across the landscape
illustrations and discussions of moraines, outwash, kames, and eskers
Practical context on drainage, weathering, soil formation, and valley development

Ideal for readers curious about local geography, geology in action, and the history behind the region’s landscapes.
