North Dakota's Geologic Legacy

North Dakota's Geologic Legacy is the story of the landscape-why it looks like it does and how it formed. The book is designed for physical and arm-chair travelers. Most of the features portrayed can be seen from the road. The shape of the land, the geologic materials, the processes that shaped them, the length of time involved in their formation-all of these comprise a fascinating puzzle.
