I am not really sure what the depth to bedrock is, but, I believe it is in the range of 300 to 500 feet. Around Fargo, the bedrock is in the range of 3-400 feet below ground surface (I was told but don't recall). What some refer to as bedrock in the NE North Dakota area is actually glacial till. The glacial till is typically composed of sandy lean clay, although there may be layers of silt within the sandy lean clay. Glacial till starts from 100 to 110 feet in the Fargo area and is around 180 to 200 feet near the Canadian border. The further south (toward the southern edge of Lake Agassiz) the shallower the glacial till becomes. The further you go east and west from the Red River the shallower the glacial becomes. Eventually the glacial till will be at or near the ground surface. When structures in the valley are built on piles, the piles are extended into and supported by the glacial till.
