KAME AREAS IN WESTERN NEW VORK 143 
Fishers and Millers Corners, especially near Millers Corners. A 
large proportion of the gravel, even to the Hopper summits, is 
Medina. 
Surrounding features—This kame area evidently belongs to 
the same glacial drainage as the Irondequoit kame area. The 
reasons for treating it as a separate area have been given above. 
The area is bounded on the northeast by the northwest-south- 
east valley reaching from Fishers to Victor. Upon the east it is 
bounded by the Boughton hill drumloid which runs directly 
south from Victor village and which, notwithstanding the break 
at Victor, may be regarded as the southern continuation of the 
Turk hill mass, with which it is in line. Southeastward the kames 
are lost in a smooth plain of till or clay, as mentioned above, 
which joins a marsh north of East Bloomfield and is the level of 
the upper erosion plane of Warren waters. As casually seen in 
exposure by the roadside, this clay is of reddish color, with only 
small but striated stones. The streams have excavated narrow 
channels 40 to 60 feet deep through this plain, and are possibly 
on rock. Southward is high ground with a drumloidal surface, 
the northern spurs of the Devonian plateau. 
Westward is a low silt plain, evidently deposited as a lake 
floor, and which may be regarded as an overwash from both the 
Victor and Irondequoit kames. This plain declines west toward 
the Honeoye creek and north toward the Irondequoit creek, with 
an altitude averaging about 600 feet. 
It will thus be seen that the Victor kame area lies in an angle 
or embayment of the Warren shore line, opening toward the 
northwest. Northwest a few isolated mounds of sand rise out of 
the low silt plain, the only phenomena connecting this kame area 
with the Mendon kame area. Neither westward nor eastward are 
there any good evidences of morainal till. 
In Professor Chamberlin’s description of the terminal moraine 
in New York* this Victor kame group was united with the south- 
ern part of the Turk hill mass and regarded as an intermediate
