The landscape of Sheboygan County, like much of Wisconsin, was produced almost entirely by the deposition of sediment from glaciers and the rivers that flowed from them. The nature of these surface sediments greatly affects how we use the land. The nature of farming is also greatly influenced by what was left behind by the glacier. This booklet describes the county's glacial history. Includes a folded map of the glacial geology.

Door County, the peninsula that separates Green Bay from Lake Michigan, was heavily shaped--and reshaped--by glaciers. This bulletin explains how ice sculpted the bedrock surface, creating intriguing sets of paired bays where channels cut across the peninsula. Water levels also fluctuated drastically, leaving behind evidence of significantly higher shorelines. This 44-page book puts what you see today into context against the county's glacial past. The accompanying map (also sold separately) shows the geology draped over the land surface.
