Abstract
Several discontinuous, fragmented strandlines exist along what formerly was the western shoreline of glacial Lake Agassiz in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. Their fragmented nature makes mapping and correlation of these strandlines difficult. We have attempted to better define one of these strandlines, the Norcross, through the use of soil maps in the Soil Survey of Grand Forks County. Preliminary results of this study indicate that combining information from geological and soil maps could provide a means to better define poorly preserved landforms. Fieldwork is now needed to further support or refute these preliminary results. As topography and parent material are two of the soil-forming factors, soil scientists also stand to benefit from accurate geological maps. Given that each profession has the potential to benefit from the improved mapping of the other, it seems reasonable to suggest that there should be ongoing cooperation between parties mapping the geology and the soils in a common area.
