Maps showing the extent of the Laurentide Ice Sheet and changes to glacial lakes at several times. This set of maps, keyed to the graph below, shows when ice first began its advance into Wisconsin (A), ice near its maximum extent (B and C), the initial retreat (D), when ice left Wisconsin (E), and the final major readvance (F).

Wisconsin Glacial Stage, most recent major division of Pleistocene time and deposits in North America, which began between about 100,000 and 75,000 years ago and ended about 11,000 years ago. It was named for rock deposits studied in the state of Wisconsin .
15 Μαΐ 2021 · The northern portions and southeastern portions of Wisconsin perfectly display how glacier movement can create a new landscape and central and western Wisconsin help to show the dichotomy between glaciated and non-glaciated portions of the state.
The maps are available as a free download in our publication Laurentide Ice Sheet: Ice-Margin Positions in Wisconsin (ES056) and as a video (below). Wisconsin’s last glacier Maximum extent of the last glaciers in Wisconsin.
WISCONSIN. What we see at the surface is a key to the geologic past. 1. Gogebic and Trap Ranges. Two large ridges are all that remain of an early mountain range in northern Wisconsin. The south ridge, the Gogebic (pronounced go-gee-bik) Range, formed about 1.9 billion years ago.
The original map is held on open file by the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey and served as the basis for the page-size map of Wisconsin Glacial Deposits which has been widely distributed.
Terms such as Wisconsin Glaciation or Sangamon Interglaciation are “Geologic-climate units” whereas Wisconsinan Stage is a time-stratigraphic unit that requires, by definition, upper and lower isochronous boundaries throughout the geographic area to which it is applied (Flint, 1971).
