The main bulk of the gravels, however, lies at a slightly 

 lower level than the head of the channel, and marks a change 

 of the drainage by which it continued along the rear side 

 of the northern moraine to another slightly lower passage 

 farther west. Such a passage occurs about eight miles 

 west of Aurora or one mile east of Linton, and the gravels 

 appear to end at that place. Outwash gravels form the 

 crest of the hill along the north side of the creek for two 

 miles west from Van Dorf. 



Looking North Over Willcocks' Lake, the Northern Moraine in the Distance 



These old river gravels form a sort of terrace along the 

 north or rear slope of the north moraine. It is well defined 

 where the electric line crosses it at the cemetery a mile 

 south of Aurora. 



The deposit stands considerably above the lower country 

 to the north. It is cut by many small gullies, but is sub- 

 stantially continuous from the large outwash deposit six or 

 seven miles east' of Aurora to the gap east of Linton. This 

 deposit is not outwash issued from the front of the ice while 

 the moraine was being built, for it rests on the rear slope
