Full Title: Glacial Map Of North America Part 2 Bibliography and Explanatory Notes
Author: Richard Foster Flint
From the original text: The Glacial Map of North America embodies the first attempt at representing the Pleistocene glacial features of North America in considerable detail and on a large scale. The earlier maps, though useful for their times, were, with one exception, published on a small scale. That exception (T. C. Chamberlin’s excellent 1913 wall map, scale 1 inch = 104 miles) did not attempt to differentiate the several drift sheets nor to plot the directions of glacier flow other than in a very generalized manner. Among the small-scale maps, the compilations of Antevs, published in 1929, are noteworthy for the amount of drift-border detail they show, although they did not represent the whole of North America on a single map.
