Surficial Deposits

This map was originally presented in the Wisconsin DNR Handbook entitled "Ecological Landscapes of Wisconsin."

Surficial Deposits are defined as the unconsolidated materials above the bedrock. Because the soil layer includes only the material in the first 5' below the surface, the superficial deposit layer is intended to account for the unconsolidated material between the soil and the top of the bedrock.
