| Title: | ICE SHEETS |
| Caption: | Maximum extent of continental glaciers during the Pleistocene epoch. The Great Lakes and lakes in Canada shown on this map are for reference only—they did not exist when the Laurentide Ice Sheet covered this area. Arrows indicate direction of ice movement based on grooves in bedrock and landforms that were shaped by the glaciers. (From Foster, R. J. 1983. General geology, 4th ed. Columbus, OH: Charles E. Merrill) |
