Briefly describe the current extent of drainage system development around the terminal moraine and in the glacial outwash plain to the southeast.

The question is based on Map T-11, the “Whitewater, Wisconsin” quadrangle (scale 1:62,500; contour interval 20 feet; dotted lines represent 10-foot contours). The irregular high ground of “Kettle Moraine State Forest,” running diagonally from the lower left to the right center of the map, is a terminal moraine left by a Pleistocene ice sheet (42°51'34"N, 88°35'59"W). The region northwest of the terminal moraine was once covered by the ice. The region in the southeast corner of the map is the edge of the glacial outwash plain.
What will be an ideal response?


Deranged, poor drainage.
