3O PHYSIOGRAPHY. 



Copen Run rises in Braxton County, near Delta, at an ele- 

 vation of 1500', and flows northward 6.4 miles to Gilmer Sta- 

 tion, where it empties into the Little Kanawha, at an elevation 

 of 730' making a fall of 770 feet. The area of its drainage 

 basin is 9.65 square miles. 



Oil Creek rises in Lewis near Arnold Station, at an eleva- 

 tion of 1300' and flows southwestward 9.5 miles to Burnsville, 

 Braxton County, where it empties into the Little Kanawha, 

 the elevation at its mouth being 740', making at total fall of 

 560 feet. The area of its drainage basin is 31.9 square miles. 

 Clover Fork, its principal tributary, empties into it from the 

 south at Orlando. 



Right Fork of Little Kanawha River rises at the common 

 corner of Upshur, Lewis and Webster, at an elevation of 2765'. 

 flows northwestward 12 miles to the Little Kanawha at Wild- 

 cat, where its elevation is 940', making a total fall of 1825 feet. 

 The area of its drainage basin is 37.5 square miles. Most of 

 the territory through which it flows is wooded, and the flow is 

 more constant than along the lower portion o.f the Little 

 Kanawha. For most of its length, Right Fork is a rapid, 

 shallow stream. 



Glady Creek rises at Boyd along the Upshur-Lewis Line, 

 at an elevation of about 1750', and flows southwestward 6 

 miles to Bablin, where it empties into the Little Kanawha, at 

 an elevation of 995', making a total fall of 755 feet. The 

 area of its drainage basin is 8.5 square miles. The stream 

 owes its name to the fact that above Duffy for several miles 

 there is little fall, since the valley is in the soft shales of the 

 Conemaugh and the bottoms are glady. Below Duffy, how- 

 ever, the creek has a tumultuous course over the hard rocks of 

 the lower Allegheny and Upper Pottsville Series. 



Cherry Fork of Little Kanawha River rises in Upshur at 

 an elevation of 1750' and flows southwestward 3.5 miles to the 

 Little Kanawha at Ingo, where its elevation is 1035', making 

 a total fall of 715 feet. The area of its drainage basin is 4.2 

 square miles. Like the other tributaries along the head- 

 waters of the Little Kanawha, Cherry Fork is a rapid, turbu- 

 lent stream.
