uhm. glacial outflow? most of the glacial remnants i've seen tend to leave more jagged terrain, but we spent a lot more time looking at glacier sources than endpoints....

where are the moraines for the glaciers you're discussing? st louis? (trying to remember, we didn't go over that part of the country in much details...)

I'm pretty sure it's along the Iowa/Missouri border. That's where the landscape changes from flat to bumpy. :)

But, if you're into this sort of thing, you should read about the Loess Hills. It's a neat place to see.
