Many of the tills are believed to be from the north, which picked up silt and fine sand between 800,000 and 500,000 years old. During the from glacial plains. This produced the natural last ('Wisconsin') phase of the Ice Age,from about polish seen on the bedrock outcrops near the 75,000 to about 10,000 years ago, an ice sheet split Monument's Winnewissa Falls. into two lobes near the northeastern border of South Dakota; one lobe plowed through the old tills to form the Mississippi River drainage, and the other formed the Missouri River drainage. The Coteau was carved from the land, like an island 4 t it' between the ice streams. Pipestone National Monument was not covered with ice during the Wisconsin phase,so most of its glacial features date to the older phases.
