 Geology of Ice Age National Scientific Reserve of Wisconsin (Chapter 6)
The rock ridge, before it was covered by the drift, had a relief of 140 to 200 feet on the south and of 300 feet or more on the north.
Alden (1918:209-217) clearly recognized that not all of the drift in the Johnstown Moraine was deposited during the one substage, that the thickness of the drift varied markedly from segment to segment of the moraine, and that the outermost front of the Johnstown Moraine was not everywhere synchronous nor representative of equal periods of time.
One of the deeper preglacial bedrock valleys may be traced from the gap in the moraine, south of County Highway PD, northeastward to Five Points and Morse Pond, and thence northeasterly to the marked steep-walled valley northwest of the WISC radio tower.

Last year alone, US Fish and Wildlife Service employees at Leopold’s office conducted burns in 9 counties on 14 WPAs for a total of 1,377 acres.
These prescribed burns reduce the build-up of flammable materials, while improving habitat and lowering the chances of an uncontrolled wildland fire on those properties.
When you see evidence of prescribed fire this spring, remember the role that fire plays in Wisconsin: removing accumulated flammable materials, providing habitat for wildlife and plants, and maintaining beautiful meadow views.

EcoEnergy is gathering wind data from a tower that went up in spring near the corner of County B and Highway 213 as the first step in constructing up to a 100 megawatt farm with 67 turbines.
