164 GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF ALABAMA. 



3. TRIBUTARIES OF TENNESSEE RIVER. 



Paint Rock Creek, Elk River, Shoal Creek, Flint Creek, Big 

 Nance Creek, Town Creek, and Big Bear Creek are all large 

 streams, and most of them have fine undeveloped water powers. 

 But no surveys have been made of them, and no measurements 

 of discharge so far. There are also many large bold springs in 

 this basin, that are said to have a pure and unfailing water sup- 

 ply, but the Hydrographic Survey has not reached them, and 

 no report can be made on them at this time.
