A view of the Camden Moraine along Interstate 70 at mile marker 4 in Jefferson Township, Preble County, Ohio. The Camden Moraine is a broad, low-lying ridge that trends northwest-southeast across the highway and marks the position where a receding Ice Age glacier remained stationary for a period of perhaps several hundred years. The view westward at mile marker 4 provides an excellent view of this end moraine rising above the nearly level ground moraine around it. Meltwater flowing from the front of the glacier scoured a drainage way through the moraine in order to reach the East Fork of the Whitewater River in Indiana. The image was made by C. Scott Brockman in 1989.
