Summary
Panorama looking east up: the Snake River from the conical shale hill 1 mile west of the Montezuma quadrangle. Calcareous layers in the Pierre shale form the bluffs on the north side of the river; the low hill in the right middle distance is part of the terminal moraine west of Keystone. The outwash gravel makes the plain in the foreground and the middle distance from the Wisconsin glacier.
