Wintergreen Flats from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin

By the time the falls had reached this point - Wintergreen Point - the outlet of lake Iroquois became blocked when the land thee rebounded after being relieved of the crushing weight of the glacier, so that comparatively little water could flow from Lake Iroquois to the ocean. The lake water backed up into the river, decreasing the height of the falls and reducing its erosive power.

Glacial Drift Dufferin Islands from "Our Romantic Niagara" by A.H. Tiplin

Point "A" on the map marks the position of the first ridge of the ancient Falls-Chippawa valley, which diverted the water of the Niagara River toward the bank, to form the Dufferin islands embayment. The water of the embayment channel returns to the river along the edge of the lower cascade at "B". The curve on the map between points "B" and "C" was formed when the water level of the river was higher and the Falls was near Hubbard Point.
