Most of the surface of Lac qui Parle County consists of a plain which slopes very gradually toward the northeast, descending from about 1,200 to 1,000 feet above sea level. This plain is interrupted on the northeast by the valley of Minnesota River, which has here been cut to depths of 100 to 150 feet, and on the southwest by the Coteau des Prairies (Dakota Hills) which lies about 500 feet above the plain. A low morainal ridge crosses the southwestern part of the county with a trend roughly parallel to the margin of the Coteau. The flatness of the plain, which occupies most of this county and extends southward into Yellow Medicine, Lyon, and Redwood counties, stands in decided contrast to the gentle undulations of the Coteau, with its numerous lakes. This difference is explained by Warren Upham as follows: TM When the ice sheet, dissolved by a warmer climate, was retreating northeastward across Lac qui Parle County, the waters of its melting were carried to the southeast a Final Rept. Geol. and Nat. Hist. Survey Minnesota, vol. 1,1882, p. 622. along the margin of the ice, which was a barrier preventing their flow in the direction of the present drainage. A glacial lake was formed in the Minnesota basin along the front of the ice and reached from Faribault and Blue Earth counties to Big Stone Lake. B.
