A single reef, 20 m thick and about 120 m in breadth, is located on the
Veterans Administration grounds adjacent to Milwaukee County Stadium. This natural exposure has been designated as a national geologic landmark by the U.S. National Park Service. Made in the 1920s, this photo shows a boy climbing the outcrop at the lower right.
