In Maryland and the District of Columbia there have been recognized
three Pleistocene terraces (Shattuck, as cited above). The uppermost is
the Sunderland, the next the Wicomico, the lowest the Talbot. These are
not correlated by Shattuck definitely with glacial divisions of the
Pleistocene, but the Sunderland is the oldest, while the Talbot is
regarded the most recent, probably about the age of the last glacial
stage, the Wisconsin.
