The region or area drained by a river, stream, etc.; drainage area. – dictionary.com

Till over ice-contact deposits: Consist of poorly sorted sand and gravel; layers of silty sand to cobble gravel; little to no shale; deposited be meltwater flowing on, under, or adjacent to the ice.
NORTH WEST QUARTER
gsiIce-walled lake deposits: Lacustrine sediment consisting of predominantly very fine- to medium-grained sand. Interpreted to have been deposited in a lake within stagnant ice. As the ice melted, the lake sediment remained as a high plateau on the landscape.
iw
Till/sand complex: Mixture of sediments including till, ice-contact sand and gravel, and minor lacustrine deposits
gc
NORTH EAST QUARTER
Glacial lake deposits: Lacustrine sediment consisting of very fine- to medium-grained sand; no gravel. In places the fine-grained sand has been sculpted by wind to form dunes.
gl
SOUTH WEST QUARTER
Till- Unsorted sediment consisting of pebbles (abundant, cobbles (common), and boulders (rare) in a loamy matrix; pockets of silt, sand,and gravel in places.
dt
Alluvium – terrace deposits: Fluvial sediments laid down during early, high stages of the Mississippi River and preserved as terraces above the modern floodplain. Predominantly medium – to coarse-grained sand with up to 40 percent gravel.

SOUTH EAST QUARTERAlluvium – terrace deposits: Fluvial sediments laid down during early, high stages of the Mississippi River and preserved as terraces above the modern floodplain. Predominantly medium – to coarse-grained sand with up to 40 percent gravel.
Alluvium – floodplain deposits: River-channel, overbank, and slackwater sediments consisting predominantly medium- to coarse-grained sand; interbedded with sandy loam to silt loam; layers of sand and gravel. Organic debris may be disseminated in the sediments and/or form discrete peat beds.
