united states max length about 1 mile 1 6 km max width about 45 miles 72 km surface area varied surface elevation 2 020 m 6 630 ft references 1 lake circle was a glacial lake that formed during the late pleistocene epoch along the redwater river in eastern montana after the laurentide ice sheet retreated glacial ice melt accumulated in the basin surrounded by the ridges of the preglacial valley and the retreating glacier southwest of nickwall are the remnants of a broad abandoned valley with long side slopes the valley runs north from redwater creek to the missouri river the bottom is poorly drained and about 1 mile 1 6 km in width it lies 2 015 to 2 020 feet 614 to 616 m above the sea level and 40 to 50 feet 12 to 15 m above the missouri river bottomland the upland slopes are extensive clear and flat the valleys surrounding it are dissected with v shaped coulees the difference between the redwater valley and those around it reflect stream erosion vs lake sedimentation the drift in the valleys appears to be as left by the glacier in the previously created valleys 1 using the dating of lake deposits near great falls montana the havre lobe of the laurentide ice sheet dammed the ancestral missouri river during the late wisconsin glacial period 2 glacial event edit a lobe of the late wisconsin laurentide ice sheet advanced from central alberta southeastward into montana and southwestern saskatchewan it left the cypress hills and boundary plateau undisturbed as the glacier crossed the present day milk river valley in southern alberta it was split into two lobes by the sweetgrass hills which became an island in the glacier the western lobe or shelby lobe moved southward to the missouri river near great falls montana the havre lobe east of the sweetgrass hills moved in two directions the lorna sublobe advanced over the missouri river to north of the highwood mountains the malta sublobe expanded southeastward along the present day milk river between the boundary plateau and the little rocky mountains in the region of the musselshell river 2 see also edit list of prehistoric lakes proglacial lakes of the missouri river basin lake cut bank lake chouteau lake
