inferred to underlie the till beneath most of the area. [The 

 Horsethief is a coarsening-upward transition from the underlying 

 Bearpaw Shale, according to current use.] The text describes the 

 Horsethief as massive and resistant. The Saint Mary Formation, 

 also late Cretaceous, overlies the Horsethief and may underlie the 

 western portion of the Jarina area. There is no specific 

 information on the characteristics of the till or other surficial 

 deposits shown.

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

 shows Kingsbury Lake (identified as Mallard Lake on this map) 

 immediately south of the maximum extent of Pleistocene glaciation. 

 The lake basin is shown to be within apparent ice-marginal drainage 

 way connecting Lepley's Creek to the northwest, Kingsbury Lake and 

 Flat Creek to Arrow Creek to the southeast. Other nearby lakes 

 (Crane, Teal, Shonkin and Gravel) are shown as within the margin 

 of maximum glacial advance. The divide between Kingsbury Lake and 

 Geraldine is shown to have been glaciated.

The study area for this research was limited to a radius of about 

 2.5 miles around Geraldine and thus does not include data from the 

 Kingsbury Lake basin. It does include water quality data from 

 shallow groundwater sources (wells and springs) and documents the
