What is the evidence that these drainage channels are having their intended result?

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).
