Figure 4. Lidar shaded-relief image of the southern Puget Lowland showing preliminary lidar mapping of areas where Mima mounds can be identified. This mapping was done with low-resolution lidar, but higher resolution mapping is currently under way. The mounded areas are outlined in red. Note the association of mounded areas with major outwash channels (Fig. 3).

MAJOR FINDINGS
• Ice retreat after the Vashon glacial maximum may have been extremely rapid.• Mima mound formation may have been ice marginal and temporally associated with
ice-front retreat.• Late-stage glacial drainage patterns control the distribution of geologic materials.• Igneous rocks in the quadrangle may be derived from at least two sources.• Northeast-trending late Eocene dikes intrude sedimentary bedrock.• Eocene volcanic rocks invaded McIntosh Formation marine sands and silts and are
locally preserved as peperite.

GEOLOGY
Glacial ice and meltwater deposited drift and carved extensive areas of the southern Puget Lowland into a complex geomorphology that provides insight into latest Pleistocene glacial processes. Throughout the map area the many streamlined elongate hills (drumlins) reveal the direction of ice movement. Mima mounds (Washburn, 1988) cover parts of the quadrangle.
During field mapping, lidar imagery was used to interpret landform origins. Water well and geotechnical boring logs were used to characterize the underlying geologic materials and estimate their thicknesses. Water well data modified by Walsh and others (2003b) from Drost and others (1998) was used to create a three-dimensional view of part of the Maytown quadrangle and surrounding area (Fig. 1). Figure 1 shows the thicknesses of Quaternary and bedrock units.
Bedrock is sporadically exposed in the hills in the southern half of the quadrangle. These outcrops are the Eocene McIntosh Formation (unit Emm), which is primarily thinly bedded marine siltstone and sandstone and was mapped and named by Snavely and others (1951, 1958) southeast of the project area. These sedimentary rocks were altered along their contacts with a palagonite-rich volcanic breccia (unit Evcn) that formed when late Eocene lava flowed onto and sank into, or “invaded” the sediments of the McIntosh Formation. The invasive nature of these volcanic rocks can be seen in a roadcut on the west side of Interstate 5 about a mile north of the Maytown exit (the north edge of sec. 5, T16N R2W) where concordant and discordant contacts and a breccia of mixed palagonite, sandstone, and siltstone (peperite) are exposed.
In the central part of the quadrangle, coarse-grained dikes, intermediate in chemical composition between gabbro and diorite (unit Eig; locality 1) cut the McIntosh Formation (unit Emm). The dikes may represent feeder conduits for the invasive volcanic rocks (unit Evcn), but, as noted by Walsh and Logan (2005), the volcanic rocks may be younger than the intrusive rocks.
A rock borrow pit due west of Offutt Lake in the East Olympia quadrangle (Walsh and Logan, 2005) was excavated in a porphyritic volcanic rock with a chilled margin in contact with a coarse-grained mafic intrusive rock type, unit Eig. This unit symbol has been carried over into the Maytown quadrangle to emphasize the chemical similarities between certain rocks in the Maytown quadrangle and the East Olympia quadrangle. Although different in appearance in hand specimens and thin sections, unit Eig in both quadrangles has mineralogy (mainly plagioclase feldspar and clinopyroxene) similar to gabbro and diabase of the Crescent Formation. However, the chemistry of unit Eig is different (Table 1, Fig. 2) (Phillips and others, 1989) from that of Crescent Formation rocks. An Ar/Ar age of 38.76 ±2.50 Ma (Walsh and Logan, 2005) indicates that unit Eig is too young to be Crescent, but it is about the same age as the volcanic rocks of Grays River (Walsh, 1987; Phillips, 1987a) and the Northcraft Formation, both of which are present nearby. As noted in Walsh and Logan (2005), unit Eig rocks are transitional tholeiitic to calc-alkaline, like the volcanic rocks of Grays River and the Northcraft Formation (Fig. 2). Even though unit Eig (locality 2) in the East Olympia quadrangle contains large (1–2 cm) augite crystals similar to those found in some volcanic rocks of Grays River in the Doty Hills, 20 mi southwest of the Maytown quadrangle (Walsh and others, 1987), we suggest the East Olympia and Maytown intrusive rocks (unit Eig) belong to the Northcraft Formation because of their geographic proximity and chemical affinity (Fig. 2).
The Pleistocene history of the Puget Lowland was described in detail by Bretz (1913). He noted a “western lobe” and an “eastern lobe” of the “Puget Sound Glacier” separated by the Black Hills northwest of the map area. Mapping by Logan (2003) and Logan and Walsh (2004) refined the location of the ice margin. Bretz (1913) also recognized an interlobe terrain near the Nisqually River (Fig. 3). This interlobe area, characterized by abundant eskers, kettles, deranged drainage patterns, and generally higher elevations than surrounding ground moraine, was continuous from the Steilacoom area northeast of the Maytown quadrangle (Fig. 4) to the area of maximum ice extent south of the town of Rainier (Fig. 3). The continuity of the interlobe terrain is interrupted only by subsequent outwash channels that dissect the feature near the lower reaches of the Nisqually River valley just east of Lake St. Clair (Fig. 3). Noble and Wallace (1966) referred to the lobes that were separated by the interlobe terrain as the Yelm lobe and the Olympia lobe. Walsh and Logan (2005) described and labeled outwash trains from the Yelm and Olympia lobes in their map of the East Olympia quadrangle, and we use their outwash train designations in the Maytown quadrangle.
At the glacial maximum, about 13,500 yr B.P. (Walsh and others, 2003a), Olympia lobe ice impinged on and partially spilled over the hills north of Tenino (Walsh and Logan, 2005; Bretz, 1913) (Fig. 3). Vashon ice of the Olympia lobe flowed across the entire Maytown quadrangle, leaving ice-scoured, striated till deposits covering older glacial deposits (units Qgp, Qga, and Qgas) and bedrock (units Emm, Evcn, and Eig) on the hills there. The hills (some cored by bedrock and others cored by advance or older glacial deposits) and water well data for the Maytown quadrangle provide evidence that the preglacial geomorphology differed in amount of relief and location of drainages from the relatively flat valleys and low hills that exist there today. As the ice front began to retreat but remained at about the latitude of Chain Hill (Fig. 3), meltwater was directed from the Yelm lobe south and westward through Bretz’s Stony Point channel (east and south of the quadrangle) and across the prairie occupied by Scatter Creek west of Tenino and into the Mima mound– covered Rocky Prairie in the southeast corner of the Maytown quadrangle. Some of the meltwater flowed under stagnant ice southwest of Rocky Prairie (Fig. 3), but when the hills were cleared of ice, meltwater cut its way around many of the hills there and deposited recessional outwash gravels (unit Qgoy3 that originated from the Yelm lobe per Walsh and Logan, 2005) around their bases. Upon further Olympia and Yelm lobe ice-front retreat, later meltwater streams found pathways farther north where units Qgoy4, Qgon3 (Yelm lobe and Nisqually area, respectively, following Walsh and Logan, 2005), and Qgos were deposited. Meltwaters also exposed some advance sediments (unit Qga) in the central map area. Low sand hills formed either as dunes or more likely as ripples orthogonal to meltwater flow directions (unit Qgosr). As the ice front retreated still farther north and glacial Lake Russell (Bretz, 1913) formed, drainage from that lake, ice-marginal streams, and an ancestral Deschutes River flowed southwestward through the Black River depression to the Chehalis River until Lake Russell was no longer impounded. When Lake Russell found a lower outlet into the Strait of Juan de Fuca (via glacial Lake Leland) and abandoned the Black River channel, the Deschutes flowed northward into Puget Sound through the path of least resistance, which was a keeled dead-ice terrain with numerous kettles along the river’s current valley (Figs. 3 and 4).
The stream that deposited unit Qgoy3 was probably fed by a glacial outburst flood (Tanwax flood of Pringle and Goldstein, 2002; Pringle and others, 2000). It was strong enough to carry and deposit boulders, many as large as 3 ft in diameter, in the Deschutes River valley and possibly icebergs or ice calved from the ice front near Offutt Lake. The icebergs were aligned with the southerly turn of the channel and covered or surrounded by unit Qgoy3 to form the concave-to-the-south kettle field that includes Offutt Lake (Fig. 3 and Walsh and Logan, 2005). The floodwaters were blocked by ice that occupied the south half of the Maytown quadrangle, including the western part of Rocky Prairie. As a result, outwash flow was slowed dramatically, forming a temporary lake that caused a delta to prograde westward across Rocky Prairie. As the hydraulic head increased in the Rocky Prairie area, water began flowing beneath the ice in sec. 12, T16N R2W, eventually breaching the ice dam and continuing its flow westward to the Black River and eventually to the Chehalis River (Fig. 3).
The ice blockage of Rocky Prairie and the McCorkle channel was short lived, and so was the outwash flow through those areas. As the glacier melted back to the north near Sheehan Lake (sec. 18, T17N R1W, about a mile east of the Maytown quadrangle), meltwater could then flow northward through to a lower base level, eventually cutting downward through the terrace represented by unit Qgoy4. Ice must have continued to impinge on the hills southeast of Sheehan Lake, causing ice-marginal meltwater from the Nisqually and Lake St. Clair area (unit Qgon4) (Fig. 3) to flow south through sec. 21, T17N R1W, into the Deschutes River valley, eventually leaving unmatched terraces of outwash gravel in that section.
The ice that blocked the flow from the east probably occupied a depression that was a continuation of present-day Budd Inlet (Fig. 3). Evidence of this is a train of kettles that reaches from the modern southern tip of Budd Inlet to at least as far south as Sheehan Lake and probably almost to Offutt Lake. The modern Deschutes River flows through many of these kettles to reach Puget Sound. Kettle trains similar to the one south of Budd Inlet also formed south of Nisqually Reach (forming Lake St. Clair) and south of Henderson Inlet (forming Pattison Lake) as glacial ice occupying these depressions was buried by recessional outwash of the Olympia lobe (Fig. 3). Continued retreat of the ice front allowed ice-marginal streams originating in the Nisqually and Lake St. Clair area and farther east from glacial Lake Puyallup to flow westward across the northern half of the map area, cutting channels through the Vashon ground moraine (unit Qgt) and into underlying advance outwash (unit Qga). As the energy of these streams waned, they eventually deposited sand and gravel, followed by sand and silt (unit Qgos), around the remaining stagnant ice blocks. When the ice melted away, the Budd Inlet, Henderson Inlet, and Nisqually kettle chains were formed.
Soils capping bedrock tend to be reddish brown, but most of those capping glacial outwash deposits are very dark brown to black. The soils covering unit Qgoy3 are formed into mounds about 2 to 6 ft high and 10 to 30 ft across. The mounds are referred to as Mima mounds and have been extensively studied by previous workers (summarized in Washburn, 1988, and discussed in Bretz, 1913). Unit Qgoy3 is the only unit within the Maytown and East Olympia quadrangles on which the Mima mounds formed (Walsh and Logan, 2005; Pringle and Goldstein, 2002). The mounds must have formed very shortly after unit Qgoy3 was deposited because (1) they did not form within kettles, which clearly formed after unit Qgoy3 was deposited (kettles crosscut meltwater channels in unit Qgoy3); (2) they appear to be partially buried by alluvial fans near the margins of the unit Qgoy3 channel; and (3) they did not form in unit Qgoy4 channels that cut the surface of unit Qgoy3. Regionally, Mima mounds are associated with major outwash channels (Fig. 4). Preliminary investigations using lidar imagery and reconnaissance field checking reveal that the oldest outwash train is located south of the Maytown quadrangle, in and to the west of Violet Prairie (Fig. 3). The second oldest is the Qgoy3 train that is probably temporally associated with the Mima Prairie mounds, west of the Maytown quadrangle. A broad area through the Fort Lewis and Muck Creek vicinity is covered by mounds on top of coarse outwash gravels, and sporadic groups of mounds are found farther to the northeast near Spanaway. These mounds are also found in sharply cut channels.
These four major episodes of outwash deposition and mound formation occurred as the ice front retreated from the southern Puget Lowland. If the channels were formed as the result of seasonal floods, then the ice may have retreated from the Grand Mound area (Fig. 3) to Tacoma in about four years. It is possible that the retreat was much faster if the channels were formed by continual outburst flooding during a rapid breakup of the ice along the ice margin. Such rapid ice breakup can be seen today in the Antarctica. We have been unable to locate datable material in these deposits, however, so the chronology of retreat is poorly constrained.
Snavely and others (1958) mapped broad southward-plunging folds in bedrock southeast of the map area. The few attitudes measured on sparse outcrops during this study indicate that the bedrock is gently folded with dips generally less than 10 degrees; however, there was not enough data to define the nature of the folds, nor were any faults noted.
DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS
Quaternary Unconsolidated Deposits
HOLOCENE NONGLACIAL DEPOSITS
Fill—Engineered fills of unknown materials associated with Interstate 5; shown only where fill placement is extensive.
Modified land—Soil, sediment, or other geologic material reworked by excavation and (or) redistribution to modify the topography. Only major gravel pits are shown as unit ml, although there are large regraded areas associated with golf courses and housing developments, especially in the northern half of the map area.
Landslide—Silty sandy gravel; generally loose, jumbled; tan to gray; few or no discernible sedimentary structures; surfaces generally undulatory. Most landslides are along steep sides of outwash channels and may have occurred shortly after ice retreated from the map area.
Colluvium—Soil and glacial sand and gravel; deposited by soil creep and shallow raveling on hill slopes; entirely postglacial. The unit is mapped where it is thick enough to mask underlying geologic strata.
Alluvium—Silt, sand, and gravel deposited by streams; includes some lacustrine deposits and organic materials, such as peat. Most alluvium is very fine due to low stream gradients in the map area.
Peat—Peat, muck, silt, and clay in and adjacent to closed depressions, marshes, and wetlands.
Alluvial fan—Silt, sand, and gravel deposited at the confluence of upland streams with outwash channels and terrace edges; commonly capped by dark brown to black, mucky loamy soils.
PLEISTOCENE GLACIAL DEPOSITS
Vashon Recessional Outwash, Nisqually/Lake St. Clair Source
Five trains of recessional outwash from the Nisqually/Lake St. Clair area have been noted by Walsh and Logan (2005). They are, from youngest to oldest, units Qgos, Qgon4, Qgon3, Qgon2, and Qgon1. Only units Qgos and Qgon3 are extensive enough to be mapped in the Maytown quadrangle.
Vashon recessional outwash sand and silt—Sand and silt with minor gravel interbeds; tan to brown; clasts moderately to well rounded; generally well sorted; clasts and grains consist of northern-source plutonic and metamorphic rocks and polycrystalline quartz carried by Vashon ice, and porphyritic volcanic rock from the Cascade Range 60 mi to the east; thickness varies from about 4 to 20 ft. This unit covers much of the north half of the quadrangle and was probably deposited by meltwater derived from stagnant ice south of Lake St. Clair (Fig. 3) and drainage from glacial Lake Puyallup farther east, possibly grading in elevation to glacial Lake Nisqually (Bretz, 1913) and glacial Lake Russell. Fairly small patches of locally derived ice-contact sand are also included in this unit.
Vashon recessional outwash sand and silt, ripples—Sand and silt with minor gravel interbeds; tan to brown; clasts moderately to well rounded; generally well sorted; clasts and grains consist of northern-source plutonic and metamorphic rocks and polycrystalline quartz carried by Vashon ice, and porphyritic volcanic rock from the Cascade Range; varies in thickness from about 4 to possibly greater than 20 ft. When artificially illuminated from the southwest (using lidar), the gently rolling surface of this unit resembles large sand ripples with their long axes perpendicular to the direction of meltwater flow.
Vashon kettle-bottom silt and peat—Silt and peat in flat bottoms of kettles. Some kettle bottoms may consist of sand and gravel with or without a fine cover. The unit is generally found in large-diameter kettles where buried ice must have been thick relative to its depth of burial.
Vashon recessional outwash sand in kettle walls—Sand and minor gravel; tan to gray; moderately to well rounded and sorted; mostly northern-source plutonic and metamorphic rock carried by Vashon ice and minor porphyritic volcanic rock from the Cascade Range. In the northeastern part of the map, where exposed near the Deschutes River valley, this unit consists of gravelly sand and is generally coarser farther upstream. In the southwest corner of the map, the kettles are in gravel and are evidence that ice was probably rafted at least that far by meltwater associated with unit Qgoy3.
Vashon recessional outwash gravel, train 3—Sand and gravel; tan to gray; moderately to well rounded; consists of plutonic and metamorphic clasts transported from the north by Vashon ice and deposited by meltwater. This channel deposit is at a slightly higher elevation than the younger channels containing units Qgon4 in the East Olympia quadrangle and Qgos (Fig. 3). The channel that contains unit Qgon3 (Fig. 3) is nearly horizontal, with a slight westward gradient at its northern end, and was probably formed by meltwater derived from stagnant ice south of Lake St. Clair. This unit was identified from lidar imagery and, in the Maytown quadrangle, the unit is very sandy, caps low till hills, and forms bars.
Vashon Recessional Outwash, Yelm and Olympia Lobe Sources
There are four major trains of recessional outwash from the Yelm lobe (Fig. 3). They are represented, from youngest to oldest, by units Qgoy4, Qgoy3, Qgoy2, and Qgoy1. Meltwater from the Olympia lobe incised into units Qgoy1 and Qgoy2, depositing units Qgoo1 through Qgoo3 (Walsh and Logan, 2005). Subsequent meltwater from the Yelm channel truncated both the earlier Yelm and Olympia lobe outwash channels and deposited units Qgoy3 and Qgoy4. The descriptions below are of those outwash trains found in the Maytown quadrangle.
Vashon recessional outwash, Yelm lobe, Rainier channel, Deschutes River—Loose sand and gravel; grains and clasts well rounded; moderately to well sorted; restricted to channels that cut unit Qgoy3 and forms terraces that grade to an outlet in the northeast corner of the map where, at the time of this unit’s deposition, glacial ice had melted back to a point north of Hartsuck Road (now named 93rd Ave SW). This unit contains fewer boulders than unit Qgoy3. The outwash originated from both the Rainier channel of the Yelm lobe and the upper Deschutes River (Fig. 3).
Vashon recessional outwash, Yelm lobe, Rainier channel, Tanwax Creek–Ohop Valley flood—Bouldery and cobbly sand and gravel; clasts and grains well rounded; moderately to well sorted; capped by silty Mima mounds. Boulders are both Cascade-derived andesite and plutonic and metamorphic rock deposited by Vashon ice. Regional geomorphology indicates that the waters that deposited the unit came from both the Rainier channel of the Yelm lobe (Fig. 3) and the Tanwax Creek–Ohop Valley glacial outburst flood (Fig. 4) (Pringle and Goldstein, 2002; Pringle and others, 2000). This unit traces the path of the Deschutes River when it flowed from the McIntosh Lake area northwestward through Offutt Lake; ice west of Offutt Lake blocked the flow, forcing it south toward Tenino (Fig. 3). The Tenino flow was short lived, and its path is delineated by the Offutt Lake kettle chain. As the ice melted, the prehistoric Deschutes River flowed from Rocky Prairie westward through the area bounded by Beaver Creek in the south to Salmon Creek farther north.
Vashon recessional outwash sand and gravel—Sand and gravel; tan to gray; moderately to well sorted and rounded; consists of plutonic and metamorphic lithic fragments deposited by Vashon meltwater that created outwash channels and terraces of various elevations, but formed after glacial ice retreated. Lithologically, the unit is difficult to distinguish from advance outwash where there are no intervening layers of till; however, it contains no glassy volcanic porphyry from the Cascade Range.
Vashon Drift
Vashon till covered by recessional outwash from the Olympia lobe, Tenalquot Prairie channel—Outwash-modified till; gray; compact; unsorted mixture of clay through boulder-size plutonic and metamorphic rocks deposited by Vashon ice as ground moraine, commonly shaped into drumlins. The unit is covered by gray to tan, northern source–dominated, pebbly sandy gravel deposited by glacial melt- water, probably from the Olympia lobe (Fig. 3); drumlin relief is subdued by the sediment cover. This unit covers a terrace along the southern part of the map area that was probably formed by the same glacial meltwaters that formed the terrace containing unit Qgoo2, based on similarities of surface elevations of the terraces.
Vashon till, dead-ice terrain—Gravelly till associated with eskers and kettles and loose sand and gravel. This unit was deposited beneath stagnant ice at the snout of the Olympia lobe. Angular glacial erratic boulders, most of coarse- grained intrusive rock types, are disseminated on the surface of this unit.
Vashon till, drumlinized ground moraine—Clay, silt, sand, and gravel; gray to tan; unstratified; compact; unsorted; deposited directly by glacial ice; nearly everywhere in sharp contact with underlying units; low permeability and porosity; sand and smaller grains very angular; pebble- to boulder-size clasts commonly striated and faceted; boulders generally disseminated and rare; sporadic interbeds of sand and gravel. The surface of this unit is characterized by streamlined drumlins and striations that are generally hundreds to thousands of feet long. Angular glacial erratic boulders, mostly plutonic, are on the surface of this unit.
Vashon advance outwash—Sand and gravel and lacustrine clay, silt, and sand; gray to light brown; compact; grains well rounded; mostly polycrystalline quartz, plutonic, and minor metamorphic lithic grains; deposited during Vashon glacial advance. The unit is most easily distinguished from recessional outwash where Vashon till lies between the outwash units. This unit may also contain pre-Vashon drift (unit Qgp) at its base, but poor outcrop due to raveled terrace scarps prevented differentiation of these units.
Vashon advance sandy outwash—Sand and silt with minor gravel immediately underlying unit Qgt; grains well rounded; mostly polycrystalline quartz, plutonic, and minor metamorphic lithic grains; deposited during Vashon glacial advance. The unit is exposed only in the southern part of the map area.
Pre-Vashon Drift
Pre-Vashon drift—Sand and gravel with some clay and silt; light brown or gray to yellowish brown to brick red; generally compact; clasts well rounded; dominated by northern-source polycrystalline quartz, plutonic, and minor metamorphic grains. The unit crops out in an area near the southern margin of the quadrangle that was mapped by Noble and Wallace (1966) as Logan Hill Formation, but the purely northern provenance makeup of the clasts indicates that this may be Double Bluff Drift (Easterbrook and others, 1967; Lea, 1984).
Tertiary Sedimentary and Igneous Rocks
Northcraft Formation? (late Eocene)—Volcanic breccia; dark-gray to black, palagonitic groundmass; fragments mostly euhedral; common twinned and zoned plagioclase phenocrysts and euhedral twinned augite phenocrysts in glassy matrix with minor ghost grains of another mineral, possibly an amphibole. The unit is in concordant and discordant contact with volcanic lithic sandstone and siltstone of the McIntosh Formation (unit Emm) and has thermally altered the sedimentary rocks at the few contacts observed during mapping. In the Interstate 5 roadcut near Maytown, palagonite, sandstone, and siltstone form a chaotically mixed breccia (peperite) characteristic of lava flows exploding in wet sediment. Such timing would suggest that the invasive rocks are part of the Northcraft Formation.
Intrusive rocks (late Eocene)—Gabbroic to dioritic dikes (basaltic and basaltic andesite composition); black to dark gray-green, ophitic, subophitic, and inter- granular; coarse-grained. Weakly pink to green pleochroic augite makes up about 40% of the rock with an equal amount of oligoclase feldspar grains; an opaque iron-oxide mineral with graphic texture comprises about 15%. Secondary minerals include disseminated heulandite and veins of calcite. Table 1 shows that the unit’s chemistry is fairly silicic despite the abundance of augite. Chemical comparisons are illustrated in Figure 2. An Ar/Ar age of 38.76 ±2.50 Ma obtained by Walsh and Logan (2005) in correlative rocks to the east and the fact that these rocks appear to intrude the McIntosh Formation indicate that they are too young to be Crescent Formation and are more likely to belong to the Northcraft Formation or a correlative of the Grays River volcanics (Walsh and Logan, 2005). However, no exposures of contacts between the dikes and the McIntosh Formation or with the volcanic invasive rocks were observed during this study.
McIntosh Formation (late middle Eocene)—Volcanic lithic marine sandstone and siltstone; fine- to medium-grained; gray-green; most grains angular or euhedral twinned and (or) zoned feldspar; green to colorless amphibole grains commonly disseminated throughout the rock; grains typically in a dirty brownish yellow, fine-grained matrix with opaque and altered minerals. Although no macrofossils were found in the Maytown quadrangle, the unit contains Tertiary shallow-water benthic Foraminifera that are not age-diagnostic (W. W. Rau, Washington Division of Geology and Resources, retired, oral commun., 1983). Snavely and others (1951) mapped this unit to the southeast near Centralia, 11 mi south of the quadrangle. The unit’s thickness in the map area is unknown.
