Statewide stratigraphic information for Illinois.
This column shows the layers of geologic materials found in Illinois (406 KB).
This map shows the location of postglacial and late glacial deposits such as river, beach, wind, and lake water deposits as well as other materials deposited during the Wisconsin, Illinois, and pre-Illinois episodes.
Loess is windblown silt that blankets the surface of large areas of Illinois. This map shows the thickness of loess deposits.
