What are the landforms shown as a series of small hills near the upper left corner of the map? (Map T-27b will be especially helpful here.) How did they form?
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), and Map T-27b, a shaded-relief map showing a portion of this area in greater detail. 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 142°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?
