Descripción: Glacial deposits are common and varied across Ohio. These deposits
chiefly include lodgment till, ablation till, and outwash. All of these sediment
types can be found by drilling into the subsurface of Fayette County, Ohio. The
study region, located in the south-central portion of Fayette County (along Miami
Trace Road), was examined for glacial deposits using data collected from water
well logs and drilling reports. Additional data sources including topographic
maps, open-file bedrock geology maps, and open-file bedrock topography maps
were used and a cross-section constructed. Variations in bedrock topography
record effects of the Teays Stage drainage and the Deep Stage drainage, which in
turn influences the thickness of drift. The overlying glacial sediments
consistently show an upward pattern of hardpan, sand, and oxidized clay loam in
both the ground moraine and end moraine landforms. This sequence is
interpreted to record a glacial advance, an increase in meltwater, and the
deposition of the uppermost layer either from supraglacial/englacial debris or by a
second advance of the Wisconsinan ice sheet.
