PLEISTOCENE LAKES SUMMARY
Most late Pleistocene shoreline altitudes and lake names are from Mifflin and Wheat (1979). Lake Warner shoreline from Weide (1975), Lake Alvord shoreline and overflow from Hemphill-Haley (1987), and Lake Coyote shoreline and overflow from Lindberg and Hemphill-Haley (1988). Shaded relief base generated in Arc/Info from USGS 1:250,000-scale DEMs. Pre-late Pleistocene shorelines from Reheis and others (1993), Reheis and Morrison (1997), and Reheis and others (in press), except for Lake Wellington (Stewart and Dohrenwend, 1984). See Reheis and others(1993; in press) for information on lake-deposit localities.Map projection: Lambert Conformal Conic.Digital cartography: Michael O'Donnell and Jonathon Rademaekers.
