Vertical movement of 6 to 10 m during the same time interval is reflected by south-facing scarps along the trace of the fault. All but possibly 1 m of the lateral movement is thought to predate the 1830 neoglacial ice advance. Older drainages have been offset in a right-lateral sense since early Wisconsin or Illinoian time by as much as 6.5 km or, alternatively, by as little as 1 km.
