Again, when the shore-lines of Lake Agassiz had been mapped through North Dakota from Lake Traverse to the international boundary, it was found that a comprehensive monograph of this subject could not be presented while the exploration was restricted by a political limit.
CHAPTER V: HISTORY OF LAKE AGASSIZ.--The records of glacial lakes are their outlets across present lines of watershed; eroded cliffs, beach ridges, and deltas at the levels of the former outlets; and lacustrine sediments in the basin inclosed by the old shores.
With the uncovering of the course of the Nelson River, Lake Agassiz ceased to be held by the ice barrier, and became Lake Winnipeg.

One of the more-extensive studies on the lake’s condition was done in the summer of 1997.
At two test sites in the lake just east of Cone Drive and the former Stromberg-Carlson plant on 16th Street, testing showed solvent- and metal degreasing-type of compounds in the sediments, which officials said could be from contaminated groundwater venting into the lake.
But with the mills and factories that once lined the lake’s north end now a distant memory and with the improvements to the city sewer plant and other cleanup measures ongoing, regulators say the condition of the lake should continue to improve.

 Out there with Tom: Crystal Lake traverse
We both kick stepped our way down the snow into the main cavern where we were treated to the sight of large pillars of ice and ice protrusions coming up from the floor.
We decided that instead of turning around we would traverse back to Crystal Lake by way of the Grandview Ridge, and it turned out to be a great decision.
