|---|---|
| Name | Clastic debris; Quaternary colluvium, fanglomerate, talus, and glacial deposits; upland-valley margins |
| Geologic age | Quaternary |
| Original map label | Qg |
| Comments | Unit includes alluvial, glacial, and colluvial deposits in upland valleys. Alluvial deposits include alluvial fan, terrace, stream, and floodplain deposits. Glacial debris includes till (moraine) and outwash deposits. Colluvium is transitional to alluvium, especially in the upper parts of alluvial fans. |
