Driftless area a factor in grey vs red squirrel habitat?

In my hometown squirrels are red. 30 miles to the northwest they are grey. This is exactly where the driftless area starts( its very hilly,untouched by glacial activity)...coincindence?Driftless area a factor in grey vs red squirrel habitat?
The greys will force out the reds if they can. My brother in the UK lives near a pocket of reds, its a wooded area that is surrounded by open fields that the greys can't get to without exposing themselves.
