Lake Monongahela was a proglacial lake in western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Ohio. It formed during the Pre-Illinoian ice epoch when the retreat of the ice sheet northwards blocked the drainage of these valleys to the north. The lake formed south of the ice front continued to rise until it was able to breach a low divide near New Martinsville, West Virginia. The overflow was the beginning of the process which created the modern Ohio River valley.

- Мононгахила (англ. Lake Monongahela) — бывшее пресноводное , располагавшееся на территории современных штатов Западная Виргиния, Огайо и западной части Пенсильвании. Озеро сформировалось в течение , когда при наступлении ледника с севера был перекрыт сток речных долин на данной территории. Уровень образовавшегося при этом озера поднимался до тех пор, пока его воды не смогли преодолеть водораздел в районе современного города Нью-Мартинсвилл, Западная Виргиния. Заполнение озера Мононгахила дало начало формированию современной речной долины Огайо. Своё название озеро впервые получило в работе И. К. Уайта, первого директора Геологической службы Западной Виргинии. (ru)
