Summary

Description
English: The image shows the approximate extent of the Moggy Hollow stage of Glacial Lake Passaic in New Jersey, USA. During this stage, the previous drainage of the Passaic River through the Short Hills Gap in the Watchung Mountains had been blocked due to a moraine deposited by the retreating Wisconsin Glacier. The river's water was forced to flood the expansive valleys west of the First and Second ridges of the Watchungs before exiting out from behind the mountains via a gap at Moggy Hollow.
