Fort Wayne Moraine, Glacial formation in Ohio, US
The Fort Wayne Moraine extends along the northern bank of the St Marys River, spanning 4 miles in width with an undulating surface pattern.
The formation emerged during the final stages of glacial activity, concurrent with the Valparaiso Moraine development in the late Pleistocene period.
The old Piqua Road in Allen County, Indiana follows the natural crest of this geological formation, marking a traditional transportation route.
The ridge creates a natural watershed between the St Marys and Auglaize River, with the main crest rising 75 feet above surrounding riverbeds.
Three parallel moraines run alongside the main crest near Lima, Ohio, forming a series of distinct geological ridges across multiple counties.
