This paper presents results from a Quaternary mapping project conducted in two areas of central mainland Nunavut that were located beneath the Keewatin Ice Divide during the last glaciation. Field work included surficial mapping, regional-scale till sampling, stratigraphic studies, and ice-flow indicator surveys. The paper summarizes the findings related to ice flow directions, patterns, and the sequence of flow events in the two map areas. Preliminary interpretations are offered of the ice flow record from the oldest recognized ice-flow events to the most recent flows.

This study presents new measurements of glacial lake levels in the Wager Bay map sheet (National Topographic System 56 G), which includes the head of Wager Bay, Ford Lake, and Brown Lake. Two main types of glacial lakes are described in this paper. The first are proglacial lakes, where sediment-laden melt water that flowed down the natural slope of the land was obstructed by till or kame dams. The second are ice-marginal lakes, where water bodies were trapped between a major ice margin and the hillsides. The paper summarizes the main characteristics of each type.
