Abstract:
The Quaternary Geologic Map of the Winnipeg 4° × 6° Degree
Quadrangle, United States and Canada, is a component of the U.S.
Geological Survey Quaternary Geologic Atlas of the United States map
series (Miscellaneous Investigations Series I-1420), an
effort to produce 4° × 6° Quaternary geologic maps, at
1:1 million scale, of the entire conterminous United States and
adjacent Canada. The map and the accompanying text and supplemental
illustrations provide a regional overview of the
areal distributions and characteristics of surficial deposits and
materials of Quaternary age (~1.8 Ma to present) in parts of
North Dakota, Minnesota, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan. The map is not a
map of soils as soils are recognized in agriculture.
Rather, it is a map of soils as recognized in engineering geology, or of
substrata or parent materials in which agricultural soils are formed.
The map units are distinguished chiefly on the basis of (1)genesis
(processes of origin) or environments of deposition: for example,
sediments deposited primarily by glacial ice (glacial deposits or till),
sediments deposited in lakes (lacustrine deposits), or
sediments deposited by wind (eolian deposits); (2) age: for example,
how long ago the deposits accumulated; (3) texture (grain size)of the
deposits or materials; (4) composition (particle lithology) of the
deposits or materials; (5) thickness; and (6) other physical,
chemical, and engineering properties. Supplemental illustrations show
(1) temporal correlation of the map units, (2) the areal
relationships of late Wisconsin glacial ice lobes and sublobes,
(3) temporal and spatial correlation of late Wisconsin glacial phases,
readvance limits, and ice margin stillstands, (4) temporal and
stratigraphic correlation of surface and subsurface glacial deposits in
the Winnipeg quadrangle and in adjacent 4° × 6° quadrangles,
and (5) responsibility for state and province compilations.
The database provides information related to geologic hazards (for
example, materials that are characterized by expansive clay minerals;
landslide deposits or landslide-prone deposits), natural resources
(for example, sources of aggregate, peat, and clay; potential shallow
sources of groundwater), and areas of environmental concern (for example,
areas that are potentially suitable for specific ecosystem habitats;
areas of potential soil and groundwater contamination). All of these
aspects of the database relate directly to land use, management, and
policy. The map, text, and accompanying illustrations provide
a database of regional scope related to geologic history, climatic
changes, the stratigraphic and chronologic frameworks of surface and
subsurface deposits and materials of Quaternary age, and other
problems and concerns.
Purpose:
The primary objectives were (1) to produce a map of surficial deposits and
materials of Quaternary age in the Winnipeg 4° × 6° quadrangle,
integrating the Quaternary geology across the International Boundary
between North Dakota and Minnesota (in the United States), and Manitoba
and Saskatchewan (in Canada), and (2) to compile descriptive information
related to the deposits and materials. Based on that integration of
data, a secondary objective was to reconstruct the stratigraphic and
chronologic frameworks of the surface and subsurface glacial deposits and
to reconstruct the glacial history in the region. The data set is a
compilation and a synthesis of available data from the region.
Because of the generalization required to produce
a map at 1:1 million scale, the map is intended for regional analysis,
rather than for detailed analysis in specific areas.
Supplemental_Information:
The map data were compiled from many sources, including maps at scales as
large as 1:24,000. Sources of information are listed in a 16-page
pamphlet that accompanies the printed edition of the map. The pamphlet is
also available online as a PDF file that accompanies the browse graphic
for the map.
Most of the original map data were compiled at 1:250,000 scale by the
compilers. Those data were provided to the editor/integrator by the
compilers, at either 1:250,000 scale, 1:500,000 scale, or 1:1,000,000
scale. Data provided at smaller scales were photographically reduced to
1:1,000,000 scale by the editor/integrator.
The source data were greatly simplified or generalized for the purposes of
this compilation. Consequently, this map, at 1:1,000,000 scale, is
intended to be used for regional analysis, rather than for detailed
analysis of specific areas in the region.
The digital file was prepared at 1:1,000,000 nominal viewing scale. If
the map is enlarged to larger scales (for example, 1:250,000, 1:100,000,
or 1:24,000 scale), resolution of the map data is greatly diminished.
Enlargement will not restore resolution that was lost by simplification or
generalization of data.
