Northwest Ohio valley
My Ohio--During the past two million years, mile deep glaciers have helped to shape the topography of Ohio, many times. Ohio was covered by these ice age glaciers in the Northern and Western two thirds of the state. This helped to smooth the land and left valleys filled with mass quantities of rock and gravel.
In the Southern part of Ohio which the glacier didn't cover, is a land of steep hill, deep ridges and beautiful, shaded valleys. On one 200 acre farm in Southern Ohio, only 12 acres can actually be farmed!
Glacier National Park, located on Kellys Island in Lake Erie, has rocks showing the deep grooves and scars left by the passing of these huge moving mountains of ice.
