The ridge extending to the left from the bluffs on the right was formed from the deposition of sand, rocks, and gravel at the edge of a continental glacier. Known as a 'terminal moraine', it marks the furthest extent of a mile-thick sheet of ice, and formed one of two natural dams which created the current Devils Lake.
