The Wisconsinan Stage of the Pleistocene is described and defined as a time-stratigraphic unit for use in Illinois and Wisconsin. The Wisconsinan includes all deposits from the contact of the Roxana Silt on the A-horizon of the Sangamon soil at the base to the top of the Cochrane till and its contact with the overlying post-Cochrane deposits in the James Bay Lowland of Ontario, Canada. The substages of the Wisconsinan Stage also are described and defined; these are (from the base upward) the Altonian, Farmdalian, Woodfordian, Twbcreekan, and Valderan. Correlations from type areas throughout this region are based on physical stratigraphy, abundant radiocarbon age determinations, and paleontology.

“…This argument loses force when it meets the fact that much of the drift in question cocupies a much-dissected belt of country with steep slopes, fringing the Missouri River, and some geologists have suspected that the outermost drift is not Nebraskan (First glacial) but Kansan (Second glacial). This view has been strengthened by test borings made in eastern Nebraska (E. C. REED, unpublished) and northeastern Kansas (FRYE & WALTERS 1950) where the outermost drift consists largely of continuous till. The borings show that the outer limit of the Nebraskan drift lies well inside the border of the Kansan drift, which overlaps and buries the Nebraskan drift border.…”
