In 1976 the University of Wisconsin System–Central Administration provided special funding for the development of
a field course on the Geology of Wisconsin. The initial descriptions were prepared by G.L. La Berge (UW–Oshkosh) with
the participation of P.E. Myers (UW–Eau Claire), D.M. Mickelson (UW–Madison), and M.E. Ostrom (Geological and Natural
History Survey, UW–Extension).
A major product of the development of this course was a series of more than 100 descriptions of outcrops selected to
illustrate various geologic formations, features, and characteristics in Wisconsin. Descriptions are one to ten pages in length,
including specific location with map at a scale of not less than one inch equals one mile; the geology, usually with a photograph
or sketch of the outcrop; a discussion of the significant geologic features; and a list of pertinent references. Additional outcrop
descriptions have been added to the series.
In the following listing, mostly organized by county, the title of the description is followed by the location, the authors,
and type of geology covered in the text. The title of the outcrop description is geographic; the location is given to the appropriate
section. For instance, Friendship Mound is listed here as AD 17/6E/5, referring to Adams County (AD), T17N (17/), R6E (6E/), Section 5.
Cost per outcrop is $1.00 each; the entire set can be purchased for $50.00. Please allow two weeks for processing and delivery.
The entire set is also available on CD-ROM in Adobe® Acrobat® PDF format for $25. Shipping and handling charges are extra. Inquiries should be directed to Map and Publication Sales Office, 608/263.7389; email mapsales@uwex.edu.
