North Berwick, Maine:

This topographic map which is in North Berwick, Maine has landforms relating to glacial

and fluvial processes with some lacustrine actions also visible. The glacial processes which are

clearly visible in the map begin in the southern most portion. This area has hummocky terrain

which is labeled as the Tatnic Hills. This has sporadic, oddly shaped hills which are

representative of depositional features from the glacier receding. There are also areas with

revisions in purple which can either be water accumulation from glacier over deepening or small

kettles. Along with this, within this area there is also sparse sections which are water saturated

and indicative of surface water. These sections were also most likely created from the glacier,

but the elevation difference is not enough to signify that a major change has occurred. Instead,

they are only slight depressions that have become saturated with water.

The northern portion of the map also has hummocky terrain, but it is not as dramatic as

the southern portion. Also in this area, there is larger amounts of marshes/swamps or saturated

land surrounding rivers, most notably The Heath on the eastern portion which is supplied by a

river and flows to the west. This is based on the intersecting topographic lines with the river

system. Most of the rivers which are on this map are strait in nature with the Ogunquit River

within the southeastern most corner of the map beginning to meander, but not majorly.

Finally, the two lakes which are found within the northwestern most portion of the map

were formed through the glacier processes of over deepening and then overtime was altered

through erosive and weathering properties to create its odd shape. Even though it is near a major

highway, it does not seem to be anthropogenic strictly because of its shape and association with

rivers attached to it.

Plains, Montana:
Despite the name that his area was given, Plains Montana is very mountainous with a

river cutting across the landscape. This river in the northern portion leading into the middle of

the eastern border is anabranching in character with some sediment islands. Most of the larger

islands do have vegetation indicated by partial green shading. Along with this though the other

islands which are smaller in size are unconsolidated sediment which is indicated by the red

spotting. Since this map was created in 1959, if it were to have been remapped then these would

be relocated into new locations downstream. This stream also flows from the southeast to the

northwest.

Attached to this river is the Clark Fork which is a meandering river that flows from the

western side of the and attaches to the anabranching major river. This portion of the Clark Fork

has some intermittent streams leading into it from the mountain ridges. The source of these

streams is from precipitation, which is why there are sections that are seasonal, indicated by the

blue lines with sections of dots. The drainage style of this area is trellis in characteristic due to

the mountains which are present. The meandering river also can be seen to have wandering

curves. There are no oxbow lakes present, but there is sediment accumulatio along the banks and

sections where the river is right up against the mountain.

In the northern section of the map there is an area of flatland which could be a plateau or

foothills of the area. In comparison to the rest of the map it seems out of place completely. The

anabranching river goes around this flat area which could indicate either a change of lithology or

this is a floodplain for the river.

Grand Teton, Wyoming:
The Grand Teton, Wyoming topographic map is indicative of a recently glaciated with

them being still present in the northern portion of the map. These glaciers can be classified as the

valley form, specifically the Teton Glacier and Middle Teton Glacier. Along with this there are

major amounts of sediment leftover from the receding glaciers. Since this is residual glacial

deposits which means that it is unconsolidated coarse grains, pebbles, and boulders.

After the glaciers receded, they left behind many indicators on where they were. Mainly,

Icefloe Lake which is in the middle northern portion of the map is a tarn which resides withing a

previous cirque glacier. Another one of these is in the southwest section ad is labeled Rimrock

Lake. These both can be identified and residing within a cirque because it is an amphitheater like

structure surrounding it. Other glacier lakes which can be seen is a chain of kettle lakes which

are near each other and are labeled as Basin Lakes.

The drainage style which is found within this map is trellis in characteristic with most of

the water flowing from the peaks into the valleys. Along with this in the southeast corner of the

map there is either a braided or anabraching river system. This is because there are indications

that some of the islands are sediment based on the spotting, but the others are vegetated with

green highlighting within them.

The northern portion of the map is very mountainous and steep, but towards southeast to

becomes it becomes flatter and more vegetated. This is from soil being able to accumulate and

form in these areas, meanwhile the mountains are containing more rock outcrops and bedrock at

the surface.
Albany, Oregon:
In this map of Albany, Oregon there are two major river systems that can be seen. The

northern river which cuts across the top of the map from the northwest to the middle of the

western border and flows towards the west. This river can be characterized as meandering with

portions that have sediment and solid islands at the northern end of it. Along with this an oxbow

can be seen to have started to form on this same rive to the east of where it intersects with Route

5. In this there is a connection beginning to form with a small section of river beginning to cut

back and connect to the main channel. This map was created in 1970, so possibly after 50 years

if it were revised it would either be connected or close to it. The southernmost river names

Willamette River is also meandering but north of Albany it has oxbow lakes which have formed.

Along the eastern of the map, two buttes can be seen, with Knox Butte in the south and

Kale Butte in the north. This indicates that there was a change in lithology which caused more

resistant rocks to form in these areas. Between them is Scravel Hill which is also the same

lithology as these buttes since the rest of the map is flat in elevation. These rises in elevation also

seem to be desirable areas for gravel pits to be created, which also can indicate a change in

lithology.

Based on vegetation, most of the landscape is unforested which is through anthropogenic

processes. The only vegetated areas are on the buttes and around the river systems. These rivers

can be considered old in character due to the number of oxbow lakes and size of meanders which

are present, with the southernmost river either having more power or older than the northern one.
Depauw, Indiana:

This map of Dapauw, Indiana is clearly karst in characteristic. This is because of the

hummocky terrain which is present, and the substantial number of depressions and water filled

dolines there are. A clear line can be drawn across the map from the top right corner to the

bottom middle of the map were the topography changes. On the western side it is mountainous

and full of ridges, meanwhile on the eastern side, it does not have major elevation change and

instead is littered with dolines and depressions. This could be due to a change in lithology

causing these alterations for one side to weather differently than the other. Overall though the

entire area is still considered karst.

The drainage characteristics of the eastern portion of the map can be characterized as

multi-basinal. The western side of the map also has some of this characteristic, but it can also be

characterized by having some dendritic patterning too. In addition to this, in the southwest and

northwest corners of the map, a meandering river can be seen clearly with large curves present

within it.

In the northern part of the map above the word BLUE there is a disappearing stream

which can be viewed. It begins at the word LAGLE and then flows westward into Route 337

where it seems to end sporadically. It flows straight into the ground at this location where it does

not seem to reappear on this map. Another one of these streams can also be seen in the

northwestern corner above the word ORCHARD. Seeing all these features, it can be concluded

that this area is karst based on the topographic map alone.
