  • Early History of Lake Agassiz in Southeast North Dakota
    JOHN P. BLUEMLE North Dakota Geological Survey, University Station, Grand Forks, North Dakota 58201 Early History of Lake Agassiz in Southeast North Dakota Extensive accumulations of collapsed lake and shore sediment are present above the Herman level adjacent to the Agassiz lake plain in southeast North Dakota. The presence of these deposits indicates that ice-dammed lakes existed on top of stagnant glacial ice while Lake Agassiz was develop- ing. Lake Agassiz did not simply expand northward from its southern end; but rather, when the superglacial lakes coalesced, the resulting Lake Agassiz flooded areas along much of the length of the Herman Beach. INTRODUCTION The Herman Beach has long been considered to mark the earliest and uppermost level reached by glacial Lake Agassiz. Even though lake deposits at elevations slightly above Herman level have been described in association with Lake Agassiz, these have always been attributed to small, short-lived lakes. Upham (1895) Figure 1. Location map showing the Agassiz and Dakota lake plains (stippled areas), and the area (diagonally ruled) of high strandlines in southeast North Dakota. The high-level lakes drained through the spillway to glacial found evidence for pre-Herman strandlines Lake Dakota while at the Norma and Cuba strands, through Lake Traverse and Big Stone Lake to the glacial River in southeast North Dakota at elevations Warren (now the Minnesota River valley) while at the Fingal and Alice strands. The outlined area is shown on Fig- about 20 ft above the Herman level. He ures 3,4, and 5. reported evidence for the narrow Lake Milnor, the deposits of which cover about commonly bouldery as a result of having associated beach deposits.
