Summary:

Named for community of Lakedale, upper Yakima River drainage basin, Kittitas Co, WA. Includes (ascending): Bullfrog, Ronald, Domerie, and Hyak Members (all new). [See members for designated type localities]. [Name Lakedale Drift first used by Porter (1975).] Composed of till and gravel moraines and outwash terraces mantled by loess. Overlies Kittitas Drift (new); underlies Holocene alluvium. Is Pleistocene age.

Summary:

Freshness of depositional landforms and meagerness of weathering and of soil development identify Lakedale Drift with Fraser Glaciation of Puget Lowland. Age is approximately 0.02 to 0.01 Ma.

Summary:

Lakedale Drift appears to span most of Wisconsin with Bullfrog Member probably being early Wisconsin on basis of relative age-dating criteria (weathering rinds, soils, loess).
