Stady/Grenora channel, with Brush Lake near the midpoint. 

 A major esker trends eastward from a point northeast of White Lake. 

 There is some limited geophysical and other subsurface information 

 which is probably all superseded by later MBMG and USGS 

 hydrogeologic work.

Regional mapping of glacial surface features at 1:500,000 scale 

 shows the Burns Creek site at the margin of the maximum extent of 

 glaciation across the Burns Creek drainage. This mapping shows 

 outwash deposition above the North Fork-Middle Fork confluence and 

 below the sample site, with a gap between. The North Fork Burns 

 Creek drainage way is shown as continuous with the Fox Creek- 

 Redwater Creek drainage to the north. 



According to this interpretation, glacially transported calcareous 

 materials may underlie both the Burns Creek system and Fox Lake, 

 both of which are underlain by noncalcareous (Fort Union Formation) 

 bedrock .

Geologic mapping at 1:62,500 scale includes the North Fork of Burns 

 Creek at the southwesternmost corner of the map area, some distance 

 upstream of the sampling site. The North Fork above the alluvium 

 is shown as the Tongue River member of the Fort Union Formation, 

 with areas of mappable clinker. Upland areas along divides have 

 extensive areas mapped as the Flaxville Formation.
