The channels are genetically classified on the basis of morphology, disposition, and related deposition.The rarity of fluvioglacial deposits at the surface, plus the strong evidence that the glacial drainage was predominantly subglacial, supports the view that during the deglaciation of this central tract the ice sheet had little motion, and masses of it became isolated in the wide valleys.
