The Physical History of the Sand DepositsThe physiography of the sand region is discussed in the Soil Survey for Tazewell County (Bonsteel, 1903), with a description of thesoil types, and a jnap showing their distribution. Chainberlin andSalisbury (1885: 261, 262) describe the method of deposition of gla-cial outwash, especially in the Mississippi river valley. Importantinformation is also found in the Illinois Glacial Lobe (Leverett,1899) and in the reports of Hart and Gleason (1907), and of Gleason(1910).
