The Importance of Glaciofluvial Features within Michigan's Port Huron Moraine
Evidence based on topographic quadrangles, aerial photographs, soils maps, and extensive fieldwork indicates that the Inner and Outer Port Huron moraines in the northwestern part of Michigan's Southern Peninsula represent a mega-assemblage of related glaciofluvial formations marking successive marginally stagnant glacial termini. Surficial sediments consist of ice-contact stratified drift and proglacial sand and gravel. Diamictons are very limite…
The Anomalous Roxana Silt and Mid-Wisconsinan Events in and Near Southern Michigan
Thick deposits of Roxana Silt are recognized only along the Illinois River (downstream from the Woodfordian terminal moraine) and are generally interpreted as being mainly loess, with the bulk accumulating from about 40,000 to 30,000 yr ago in association with an Altonian-age glacier in northeastern Illinois. Yet 11 14 C dates indicate that southern Michigan was not ice-covered during that interval; thus, any proximate ice must have, at best, bee…

Lake Michigan Bluff Recession
Long-term recession rates of Lake Michigan's shorezone bluffs were investigated at 118 sites by comparing modern measurements with nineteenth-century Government Land Office surveys. These rates were evaluated spatially and related to selected shorezone characteristics. One hundred and six of the bluff sites are experiencing retreat that averages 0.4 m (1.3 ft) per year. Although amounts vary significantly, average values show that (1) rates are s…
Characteristics of a Glacially Buried Cuesta in Southeast Michigan
This study assesses the effects of glaciation on a drift-buried cuesta in southeast Michigan through analysis of detailed data for the underlying bedrock surface. Four separate areas of the cuesta affected differently by glaciation are examined. These illustrate (1) proximal lowering through abrasion, (2) lateral smoothing and trimming, (3) distal plucking and (4) protection resulting from local structural-topographic relationships. It is shown t…
Significance of Landforms in Southeast Michigan∗
An assemblage of landforms in a complex interlobate area in southeast Michigan may be used to identify the surficial contact between Saginaw and Huron-Erie drifts even though the sediments from both glacial lobes appear similar and cannot be reliably differentiated in the field. The correct placement of the boundary is confirmed by X-ray diffraction data for clay-sized particles from more than forty drift samples. This study demonstrates that in …
Lake, Stream, and Bedrock in Southcentral Michigan∗
About eighty percent of all larger lakes and more than sixty percent of second- and third-order streams in the drift plains of southcentral Michigan overlie preglacial bedrock valleys. The longest axes of linear lakes generally follow the trend of the underlying buried bedrock valleys; linear assemblages of lakes always overlie such features in the subsurface. Even in areas where lakes are largely absent, streams are partially adjusted to an angu…
