462 GLACIAL FORMATIONS OF ERIE AND OHIO BASINS. 



are repox'ted which have so much as 100 feet of drift. One at Haselton 

 has 90 feet as reported by Foshay, and 84 feet as reported in Geology of 

 Ohio. At Lowellville the valley bottom is underlain at slig'ht depth by 

 rock, and the river has a rock bed. If a deep channel exists there it must 

 be very naiTow. 



On the uplands south of Youngstown, in the vicinity of Boardman, 

 borings for coal on George Baldwin's farm penetrate about 100 feet of drift, 

 and on Emerj^ Titus's farm near by, 90 feet of di'ift was penetrated, but on 

 adjacent farms and in the village of Boardman rock is struck at slight 

 depth. There is nothing in the topograph}^ at Baldwin's or Titus's to 

 indicate an ancient valley, the altitude being about that of the general 

 level of the uplands. 



In Stark County wells on the uplands in the vicinity of Freeburg 

 penetrate 30 to 40 feet of drift, mainly till ; the thickness in the valleys is 

 not known, the majority of wells being but 20 to 30 feet deep. In the 

 interlobate moraine, a well at the elevator at Hartsville, in northern Stark 

 County, 45 feet deep, does not reach rock. At Congress Lake, just north 

 of Hartsville, the Cleveland and Canton Railway Company have di'iven 

 spiles to a depth of 6.5 feet without reaching rock. 



In Portage County several wells show a heavy drift deposit. At 

 Firestone Brothers, 1^ miles northwest of Atwater, there is 145 feet, mainly 

 assorted material. At Benjamin Whittlesey's, IJ miles southwest of 

 Atwater, a well 139 feet deep does not reach rock. In Atwater an uncom- 

 pleted well at the feed mill near the depot was down 78 feet at the time of 

 the writer's visit and had not reached the bottom of the drift, but rock is 

 near the surface in that vicinity. At Sandy Lake, near J. Cady's, a well 

 strikes rock at 173 feet. The drift is mainly sand. At Campbellsport, 2^ 

 miles southeast of Ravenna, a well on Richard Thompson's estate, 230 feet 

 deep, does not reach rock. The altitude of the well mouth is 983 feet. In 

 this well there was much blue quicksand in the upper 70 feet, below which 

 was gravel and sand. Scarcely any till is struck by wells in this section. On 

 the bordering uplands the drift is nearly all till. George Cline has a well, 

 in the southwest part of Rootstown Township, 217 feet deep, which struck 

 no rock, and so far as the writer could ascertain no outcrops of rock occur, 

 and none is struck in wells within a radius of a mile. On the west side of 

 the Cuyahoga, north of Kent, several wells show 'drift 175 to 300 feet
