North West quarter Till over ice-contact deposits: Consist of poorly sorted sand and gravel; layers of silty sand to cobble gravel; little to no shale; deposited be meltwater flowing on, under, or adjacent to the ice. iw Ice-walled lake deposits: Lacustrine sediment consisting of predominantly very fine- to medium-grained sand. Interpreted to have been deposited in a lake within stagnant ice. As the ice melted, the lake sediment remained as a high plateau on the landscape. gsi
North east quarter Till/sand complex: Mixture of sediments including till, ice-contact sand and gravel, and minor lacustrine deposits Glacial lake deposits: Lacustrine sediment consisting of very fine- to medium-grained sand; no gravel. In places the fine-grained sand has been sculpted by wind to form dunes. gl gc
South west quarter Till- Unsorted sediment consisting of pebbles (abundant, cobbles (common), and boulders (rare) in a loamy matrix; pockets of silt, sand,and gravel in places. Alluvium – terrace deposits: Fluvial sediments laid down during early, high stages of the Mississippi River and preserved as terraces above the modern floodplain. Predominantly medium – to coarse-grained sand with up to 40 percent gravel. tl dt

Organic debris may be disseminated in the sediments and/or form discrete peat beds. al tl

Anoka Sand Plain Landform: Consists of a sandy lake plain. Also found are small sand dunes, kettle lakes and tunnel valleys. Some ground and end moraine . Sandy terraces formed y the Mississippi River. Bedrock Geology: Cambrian and Ordovician dolomite, sandstone, and shale. Can be found exposed in St. Cloud.
