Adams County is covered largely by a sand plain representing part of the bed of Glacial Lake Wisconsin. The bedrock is dominantly Cambrian sandstones which are exposed locally as mounds and bluffs that were islands in this lake, or along the valleys of larger rivers. Places to see this strata is Roche-A-Cri state park and the scenic Dells of the Wisconsin River. Rarely resistant Precambrian rock, primarily quartzite, also occurred as paleo-islands, such as at Hamilton Mound.
