“…Glacial ice covered the study area until between 11,600 and 11,200 yr B.E; a minor glacial readvance occurred in the northernmost Upper Peninsula about 10,100 yr B.E (Futyma 1981;Farrand and Drexler 1985;Larsen 1987;Fraser et al 1990). Late Wisconsinan ground moraines and drumlin fields sculpted in stratified tills of sandy loam and of reworked lacustrine clays occur primarily west of Lake Millecoquins (a large inland lake located in the approximate center of the study area).…”

“…Modern Lake Michigan was formed when the Port Huron outlet again was down-cut to just above its modern level by 2500 14C yr B.R (Hansel et al,t985). During post-Algoma and historic times, Lake Michigan water level has fluctu-ated :t: 1.5 m about its present elevation of 176.4 m (578.7 ft) (Bishop, 1990;Fraser et al, 1990).…”

“…Much of the geomorphological research establishing the chronology of lake level has focused on the southern portion of the Lake Michigan basin (Leverett, 1897;Hansel et al, 1985;Larsen, 1985;Thompson, 1992;Fraser et al, 1990) with relatively little contemporary research conducted on shore features prominent farther to the north (Futyma, 1981;Johnson et al, 1990;Baedke & Thompson, 1993;Larsen, 1994). With the advent of radiocarbon dating, many of these features in the southern portion of the basin have been placed within an absolute radiocarbon chronology of lake-level fluctuations (Hansel et al, 1985;Larsen, 1987;Thompson, 1992).…”
