  Another two mapps of glacial extent:

  Figs. 1 and 2, here, show maximal Laurentide Ice *** extent:

The southern Laurentide Ice ***

  Fig. 3, here, shows mid-Wisconsinan Laurentide Ice *** extent
(which is about where it would have lain 50,000 years ago),
inside the maximal extent in the Late Wisconsinan:

The Laurentide and Innuitian ice sheets during the
Last Glacial Maximum

  The second article is a standard reference, by one of the premier
authorities on the subject, in a well-respected peer-reviewed journal
dedicated to the topic.
