| The region is adjacent to the driftless area, and was glaciated during the Wisconsin glaciation. |
| Because early geologists did not find recent glacial drift in the region, it became known as the Driftless Area. |
| The rugged driftless area got its name because of early geologists' inability to find evidence of glacial drift. |
| In the glaciated area 61 per cent of the land is improved and in the driftless area only 43.5 per cent. |
| Throughout the driftless area it has covered up many spots that would otherwise have been bare rocks. |
| It was a grand sight to witness the sea in a hurricane on a driftless, clear day. |
