| Abstract | The Lac Laporte area is of moderate relief and is characterized by till blankets in the central lowlands and till veneers with large expanses of bedrock outcrops in the west (Doublet Terrane) and east
(De Pas Batholith). The region was differentially eroded by the Laurentide Ice Sheet, largely influenced by the migration of the Ancestral Labrador ice divide. Phases of radial ice flow from the former migrating ice divide imparted discordant
erosional-flow landforms and paleo-flow indicators on the landscape. During the latter phase of deglaciation, terrain west of the Rivière De Pas experienced ice stagnation and ablation, with the westward-retreating ice margin pinned against the
bedrock ridge crests. Subaerial meltwaters flowed eastward away from the ice margin, which created a morainal complex of winnowed till and glaciofluvial sediments. These subaerial meltwater channels are juxtaposed with the subglacial meltwater
channels that formed parallel to the general north-south-trending bedrock topography. |
