MISSISSINAWA MORAINE. 



497 



RANGE IN ALTITUDE. 



This moraine displays scarcely any abrupt changes in altitude, since 

 it traverses a comparativel)^ smooth region, yet wlien taken in its entire 

 lengtli the range in altitude is considerable, for in its course from southern 

 Hardin County, Ohio, around to the northeast corner of Indiana it crosses 

 the Miami and Wabash basins and an elevated tract which separates them. 

 In Hardin County the altitude along its crest is 1,100 to 1,1.50 feet; at the 

 Miami Canal, in the Miami Basin, 925 to 940 feet; at and near the State 

 line, on the high tract separating the Miami and Wabash basins, about 

 1,100 feet; at the Wabash River bluffs, near Lagro, 750 to 800 feet; in 

 northeastern Indiana, about 1,050 feet. The following table presents the 

 altitude of stations alone: or near the line of the crest of the moraine :
