WABASH MORAINE. 559 



At Shelby, which hes on the outer border plain, near the moraine, 

 rock is struck in gas wells at about 50 to 60 feet, the drift being almost 

 entirely till. 



At Sulphur Springs, in the midst of the Wabash moraine, 5 to 6 miles 

 northeast of Bucyrus, a well at Dr. J. B. Squires's, 60 feet in depth, does 

 not reach rock. There are several flowing wells in this village whose depth 

 is about 30 feet. They are in a sag, and water rises but a foot or so above 

 the surface. The source of suppl}^ is probably from higher parts of the 

 moi'aine toward the south and east. 



At Bucyrus the drift is 25 to 40 feet thick, mainly till. This city 

 stands on the outer border of the inoraine. 



In Nevada a gas well penetrated 27 feet of drift. Its mouth is 10 to 

 12 feet below the level of the railway station. About a mile above Nevada 

 rock appears in the bed of Brokensword Creek, and for several miles 

 above that point is exposed in the bed and bluffs. This is between the 

 Wabash and St. Marys moraines. 



A well at the village of Wyandot, in the street, near crossroads, struck 

 rock at 80 feet. There was some till, but much of the drift was sand. The 

 well mouth is at least 50 feet above the Sandusky River, and is on the crest 

 of the moraine. 



At Morral the town well struck rock at 50 feet, the drift being 

 mainly till. 



At Cochranton the gas well struck rock at 50 feet. Several flowing 

 wells in the village obtain water from drift gravel beneath blue till at a 

 depth of 40 to 45 feet. Wells on the prairie, for 3 to 4 miles north from 

 Cochranton, strike rock at 35 to 50 feet. 



At Agosta wells on the moraine strike rock at 50 to 55 feet; the drift 

 is mainly till. 



In the Scioto Valley, south of Kenton, rock is struck at 12 to 20 feet. 

 This is at a level about 60 feet lower than the crest of the moraine. On 

 the north slope of the moraine two wells north of Kenton struck rock at 30 

 to 45 feet, or about the same level as in the Scioto Valley south of Kenton. 

 No records were obtained of borings in Kenton showing the thickness of 

 the di-ift on the crest of the moraine. In case the rock is as Iom^ here as 

 on the other side, which is not improbable, the drift has a thickness of about 

 75 feet.
