Throughout the Uplands, glaciation
smeared deposits of till (mixed clay,
sand, stones, and small boulders)
over the knobby bedrock, giving the
land a streamlined, rounded look.
One common type of glacial smear is
a drumlin, a small hill with fertile
soils usually no more than 1-2,000
feet long. This photograph shows
Horsebarn Hill, a drumlin farmed
by the University of Connecticut
School of Agriculture in Storrs.
