Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Oro Moraine" in English language version.
Recharge areas in the NVCA are generally located in areas of elevated topography with permeable sand and gravel layers. Major recharge areas include Oro Moraine, the Simcoe Uplands, Oak Ridges Moraine, and portions of the Niagara Escarpment in areas where ice-contact glacial deposits and morainal areas are present.
The Oro Moraine is a prominent natural landform extending northeast from Highway 400 to Orillia. The vast majority of the Moraine lies within Oro-Medonte Township. The west and east tips of the Moraine extends into Springwater Township and the City of Orillia, respectively. The Oro Moraine is approximately 21 km long by 6 km wide and covers an area about 141 square kilometers.
Spring-fed tributaries of the Sturgeon River emerge along a valley running between the base of the Simcoe Uplands and the west edge of the Oro Moraine near Hillsdale.
