Glaciation of the Yellowstone Valley north of Park

Weed WH. 1893. Glaciation of the Yellowstone Valley north of Park. Bulletin of the US Geological Survey No. 104. United States Government Printing Office. Washington, DC

account of the glaciation of the Snowy mountains and of the upper valleys of the Yellowstone, whose deposits show an unusual phase of alpine glaciation. The evidence thus far gathered shows that a large body of ice, originating in the ice sheets of the Yellowstone National Park, pushed northward, filling the upper valleys of the Yellowstone and extending down that stream 36 miles north of the park boundary.
