Description of Mapping Un its
Hudson Episode
Qo - M uck and Peat (DeForest Formation-W oden Mbr) Generally 2.5 to 11 m of black to very dark gray, calcareous, muck, peat andsilty c lay loam colluvium and organic sediments in drained and undrained closed and semi-closed depressions. Overlies a gray,calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.- Alden Mbr.) or may overlie Noah Creek Fm. sand and gravel. Low relieffeatures that occupy depressions and low sags on the landscape. Seasonal high water table.
Qal - Alluvium (DeForest Formation-Undifferentiated) Variable thickness of less than 1 m to 5 m of a very dark gray to brown,noncalcareous, stratified silty c lay loam, clay loam, loam to sandy loam alluvium and colluvium in stream valleys, hillslopes andclosed depressions. May overlie Dows Formation (Morgan or Alden Mbr.), Noah Creek Formation or Pennsylvanian/Mississ ippianbedrock. Occupies low relief modern floodplain, c losed depressions, modern drainageways or toeslope positions on the landscape.Seasonal high water table
Qe - Eolian Sand (Peoria Formation--sand facies) Generally less than 3 m of yellowish brown, massive, calcareous loamy sand tofine sand. It may o verlie yellowish-brown coarse-grained sand and gravel (Noah Creek Fm.) or it may overlie yellowish to grayishbrown usually calcareous, stratified loam to silt loam to sandy loam diamicton; textures can be quite variable (Dows Fm.-MorganMbr.).

Lineated ridge forms (Dows Formation-Morgan Mbr./ Pilot Knob Mbr.) Less than 6 m ofyellowish brown, often calcareous, s tratified loam to silt loam to sandy loam diamicton; textures can be quite variable . Occasionally,these ridges consist primarily of sand and gravel and exhibit evidence of syndepositional collapse (Pilot Knob Mbr.) Overlies gray,calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-Alden Mbr.). Faint to well-defined lineated ridges oriented transverse toglacier flow are inset on till plain. Ridges are moderate to high relief features (3 to 8+ m). Overall landform is a swell and swaletopography. Seasonal high water table .
Qtr - Till Ridge (Dows Formation-Morgan Mbr.) Generally 4 to 15 m of yellowish to grayish brown, usually calcareous andfractured, stratified loam to silt loam to sandy loam diamicton; textures can be quite variable. Overlies gray, calcareous, massive,dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.). Moderate to high relief hummocky landform feature exceeds 3-8 m of local relief.
Qoch - Outwash Channels (Noah Creek Formation) Generally less than 7 m of yellowish brown coarse-grained sand and gravel.Overlies gray, calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.). In valley pos itions, it is at the land surface ofolder terraces. On the modern floodplain it is buried by DeForest Fm. alluvium. Low-relief landforms that may be depos ited in broadterraces; long, narrow longitudinal terraces or in cuspate-shaped point terraces.
Qochb - Outw ash Channels shallow to bedrock (Noah Creek Formation) Generally less than 5 m of yellowish brown coarse-grained sand and gravel. In the northern part of Webs ter county the unit overlies Mississippian carbonate bedrock. From Fort Dodgesouth the unit overlies Pennsylvanian bedrock. In valley positions, the unit is at the land surface of older terraces. On the modernfloodplain it is buried by DeForest Fm. alluvium. Low-relief landforms that may be deposited in long, narrow longitudinal terraces orin cuspate-shaped point terraces which overlie bedrock.
Qof - Outwash Fan (Noah Creek Formation) Thickness can be quite variable from 3 to 12 m of yellowish-brown coarse-grainedsand and gravel. May overlie yellowish to grayish brown usually calcareous, stratified loam to silt loam to sandy loam diamicton;textures can be quite variable (Dows Fm.-Morgan Mbr.) or it may overlie a gray, calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (DowsFm.- Alden Mbr.). Narrow low-relief apron that gently slopes away from the moraine front. Seasonal high water table.
Qglp - Lake Sediment Plain - broad-scale landform features (Dows Formation-Lake Mills Mbr.) Generally less than 3 m of darkgrayish brown, massive, calcareous s ilty c lay loam, silt loam overlying a thin basal increment of sand and gravel (<1 m). It mayoverlie yellowish to grayish brown usually calcareous, stratified loam to silt loam to sandy loam diamicton; textures can be quitevariable (Dows Fm.--Morgan Mbr.) or it may overlie a gray, calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.).Low relief broad plain with less than 3 m of local relief. Seasonal high water table .
Qglhc - Collapsed Lake Sediments - hummocky isolated ice-walled lake plains-flat-topped hummocks (Dows Formation-LakeMills Mbr./ Morgan Mbr.) Generally less than 3 m of dark grayish brown, massive, calcareous s ilty clay loam, silt loam overlying athin basal increment of sand and gravel (<1 m). It usually overlies yellowish to grayish brown usually calcareous, stratified loam tosilt loam to sandy loam diamicton; textures can be quite variable (Dows Fm.--Morgan Mbr. Isolated ice-walled lake plains comprise aportion of this landform area. Other hummocks consist of less than 4 m of yellowish to grayish brown usually calcareous, s tratifiedloam to s ilt loam to sandy loam diamicton (Dows Fm.--Morgan Mbr.). Overlies a gray, calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton(Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.). Moderate to high relief hummocky landform area with 3 to 8+ m of local relief.
Qlglp - Lake Sediment Plain - broad-scale landform features with lineated ridge forms (Dows Formation- Lake MillsMbr.)/Morgan Mbr.) Generally less than 3 m of dark grayish brown, massive, calcareous silty clay loam, silt loam overlying a thinbasal increment of sand and gravel (<1 m). It may overlie yellowish to grayish brown usually calcareous, stratified loam to silt loamto sandy loam diamicton; textures can be quite variable (Dows Fm.--Morgan Mbr.) or it may overlie a gray, calcareous , massive,dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.). Low relief broad plain with less than 3 m of local re lief. Faint lineated ridgesoriented transverse to glacier flow are inset on till plain adjacent to major stream and river valleys. Ridges are lower relief features(<3 m). Overall landform is an undulating plain. Lo w relief (<3 m) on lineated ridges. Seasonal high water table.
Complexes
Qsgc - Supraglacial Complex (Dows Formation-P ilot Knob Mbr./ Morgan Mbr.) Greater than 3 m and less than 15 m of yellowishbrown, often calcareous and fractured, s tratified sand and gravel with interbedded stratified loam diamicton. Collapse features areusually evident. In depressions and sags on upland surfaces, the sand and gravel may be buried by DeForest Fm.-Woden Mbr.Overlies gray, calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.). Moderate to high relief (3 to 8+ m) hummocks,beaded ridges, kames and associated linked drainages on upland surfaces.
Qsgclp - Supraglacial Complex with lineated ridge forms (Dows Formation-Pilot Knob Mbr./ Morgan Mbr.) Greater than 4 m andless than 10 m of yellowish brown, often calcareous and fractured, s tratified sand and gravel with interbedded stratified loamdiamicton or yellowish to grayish brown, often calcareous and fractured, s tratified loam to silt loam to sandy loam diamicton; texturescan be quite variable. In depressions and sags on upland surfaces, the sand and gravel may be buried by DeForest Fm.-Woden Mbr.Overlies gray, calcareous, massive, dense loam diamicton (Dows Fm.-- Alden Mbr.). Faint to well-defined lineated ridges orientedtransverse to glacier flow are inset on till plain. Ridges are moderate to high relief features (3 to 8+ m). Occasionally, these ridgesconsist primarily of sand and gravel and exhibit evidence of syndepositional collapse (Pilot Knob Mbr.). Overall landform can behummocky or swell and swale topography. Moderate to high relief (3 to 8+ m) on lineated ridges and hummocks. Seasonal high watertable.
Pu/Mu - Pennsylvanian Bedrock(Cherokee Group)/Mississippian Bedrock (St. Louis and Pella Formations) Pennsylvanian--P rimarily composed of deltaic sediments associated with the Cherokee Group. Lithologies are extremely variable. Major lithologiesconsist of shale and sandstone with minor coal seams. Mississ ippian-- Composed of marine limestones, s andstones and shales.Outcrops present along the Des Moines River valley north of Fort Dodge. In the Fort Dodge vicinity some outcrops of Jurassic agegypsum and red mudstones are present.
