Figure 9.9 is a stereogram showing a portion of the area covered by the Whitewater, Wisconsin, topographic map (Figure 9.10, page 160). Use the stereogram and the map to complete the following.
1. After examining the map and stereogram, draw a line on the map to outline the area illustrated on the stereogram.
2. What evidence on the map indicates that portions of the area are poorly drained? On what part of the map are these features located?
3. Use Figure 9.11 to draw a topographic profile of the X-Y line on Figure 9.10.
4. Is the general topography of the land in Sections 7 and 8 in the northwest portion of the region higher or lower in elevation than the land around the letter A located near the center of the map? Is it more or less hilly?
5. Is the area that coincides with Kettle Moraine State Forest higher or lower in elevation than the land to the northwest and southeast?
6. The feature labeled A on the map is a long ridge composed of till. Is this ridge an esker, an end moraine, or a drumlin?
7. The streamlined, asymmetrical hills composed of till, labeled B, are what type of feature?
8. Examine the shape of the features labeled B on the map in Figure 9.10. How can these features be used to determine the direction of ice flow in a glaciated area?
9. Using the features labeled B in Figure 9.10 as a guide, draw an arrow on the map to indicate the direction of ice movement that occurred in this region.
10. What is the likely location of the outwash plain on the map? Identify and label the area "outwash plain." (Hint: Refer to Figure 9.7.)
11. Label the area covered by ground moraine.
12. What term is applied to the numerous almost circular depressions designated with the letter C?
