the southeast part of Newaygo County, slopes rapidly eastward away from the moraine. A 

 few miles farther north, in the southwest corner of Mecosta County, an outwash apron of the 

 Saginaw lobe slopes southwestward from the moraine in the district between Muskegon and 

 Little Muskegon rivers. Whether the drainage from this northern outwash apron was south- 

 ward through the western edge of Montcalm County or whether it followed down the Muskegon 

 past the mouth of the Little Muskegon and then went southward past Kice Lake into the 

 Rapid River valley depends on the amount of recession that had been made by the Lake 

 Michigan lobe in southeastern Newaygo County.
