HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Bayfield Historical
Society was asked to delve much
more deeply than usual into the
past when the geological'history
of the area was described in a
review ,of the very interesting
book "The Physiography of
Southern Ontario" by L. J.
Chapman and D. F. Putnam.
First published in 1951, the
book proved so popular that a
revised second edition was
printed in 1966 and reprinted in
1967 and 1969:
Gwen Pemberton, who
reviewed the book, concentrated
on events in the geological past
which explain the topography of
the local area. These are the
formation of the bedrock when
the land was under seawater and
the advance and retreat of the
Wisconsin glacier which covered
the area after it rose above sea
level. During the glacial period,
the Wyoming moraine, which is
now the Eastern boundary of
the district, was formed and the
land was covered by Lake
Warren.
As the glacier, about a mile in
depth, advanced, it had a planing
effect on the bedrock. Soil and
rock were carried forward,
mixed together, and milled. The
resulting rocky grist is a
heterogeneous mass of stones
and pebbles in a sand, silt and
clay matrix. Since it resembles
tilled soil, it is called glacial till.
Then as the glacier retreated,
about 10,000 years ago, it was
halted periodically by
re-advances, when ice lobes
overrode the recently _deposited
glacial drift, usually building a
moraine at the terminus of each
advance.
Moraines are made either of
till pushed into place by the
glacier, or coarsely stratified
gravel and sand deposited rat; the
ice front by drainage i ming
from the melted ice. One of the
strongest moraines runs from the
village of Wyoming, from which
it gets its name, to Walkerton,
standing visibly above the
surrounding terrain.
Associated with the glacier's
retreat was the formation of two
lakes in the area. Lake Warren
covered Lake Huron and inland
as far as the Wyoming moraine,
Apparently it had two stages,
the earlier being 10 feet above
the latter. Aerial photographs
show twin beaches, usually
consisting of two or three feet of
gravel and about a quarter of a
mile apart, which can be traced
southwards from Concession XI
of Kincardine right to Wyoming.
The shoreline is clear-cut south
of Goderich. Where beaches fade
out, a small bluff is usually
present instead. The two beaches
are close together at Blake. They
pass through Dashwood and are
fairly strong as they cross the
road respectively, one-half mile
and one mile west of the
Dashwood corner. The other
lake, Algonquin, was confined in
this area to the Lake Huron
basin, roughly south of Port
Elgin. South of Point Clark,p the
Algonquin beach is not in
evidence, having been undercut
by the present lake, except
around the Thedford marsh.
The book divides Southern
Ontario into 52 named
physiographic regions — those in
this area characterized as the
Huron Slope and the Huron
Fringe.
THE HURON SLOPE
An area of about 1,000
square miles between the
Algonquin shorecliff and the
Wyoming moraine slopes gently
upward from 600 to 900 feet
above sea level. Essentially, it is
a clay plain modified by a
narrow strip of sand • and the
twin' beaches of glacial Lake
Warren, which flank the
moraine. The sandy strip runs
parallel to the Warren beaches,
but usually separated from them
by a mile or so of clay or loam.
A shallow deposit of sand spread
over the clay, it was probably a
sort of offshore apron created
by the wave action of Lake
Warren. Under such conditions,
a perched water table occurs on
the surface of the clay with the
result that the 'sandy soil has a
wet, cold subsoil.
There are two small deltas
where the Bayfield and the
Ausable Rivers emptied into
Lake Warren, thus creating
sandy areas.
The Algonquin bluff at the
lakeward border of this slope or
the shorecliff Of Lake Huron
where it has undercut the earlier
cliff, has a drop of about 75
feet. With such a head, the
streams large and small have cut
deep gullies, thfs making a much
dissected fringe just above the
bluff, causing problems for the
Bluewater Highway (No. 21) and
for farmers and summer
cottagers.
THE HURON FRINGE
A narrow strip along Lake
Huron from Sarnia to
Tobermory, is very different
from the clay plain adjacent and
above it — it is about 200 miles
