GLACIAL WATERS IN THE LAKE ERIE. BASIN 59 



Branching from the Cooper ridge near its head is a sHghtly 

 higher bar, 793 feet, swinging northeast across the railroad to the 

 north-leading road, and then lying parallel with the latter road. 

 One half mile farther northwest, at three -corners, another good 

 bar occurs across the road and carrying the ridge road which leads 

 northwest, crossing the railroad and electric line. After supporting 

 the road for a mile the bar swings away to the southeast and passes 

 across the Erie county fair grounds. The east entrance to the 

 enclosure of the fair grounds is on this lower Warren bar, which 

 curving around to the northeast lies on the north-facing slope 

 of the strong upper Warren and about 20 feet lower. This lower 

 Warren is a well defined bar on the road leading northwest from 

 Armor, only about 10 feet under the upper Warren at the corners. 

 On the north road the lower Warren supports the village cemetery 

 and then passes to the east side of the road and lies along the flank 

 of the upper Warren, with a vertical interval of 10 to 15 feet. For 

 2^ miles from here, to north of Orchard Park, the upper Warren is 

 mainly an irregular wave-cut cliff in the north border of the moraine, 

 while the lower Warren consists of broken ridges and spits. North 

 of Orchard Park, toward Websters Corners, the highway lies 

 between the Warren bars, the upper and double ridge on the east 

 side being about 15 feet higher. 



At Websters four-corners the lower Warren forms a great recurved 

 hook, convex northwest, which crosses the east and west road ^ 

 mile west of the corners, and curving back towards the corners 

 makes nearly a circle. Another bar lies farther west across the 

 road, and another east of the corners on the north side of the road. 



From Websters Corners to Spring Brook the Warren shore is 

 irregular but fairly shown on the map with reference to the roads 

 as broken and eroded bars and cliffs, along the face of the moraine. 

 The Whittlesey lies landward in the moraine. The definite north 

 edge of the moraine is an effect of the wave erosion. 



Spring Brook to West Alden. In this section the Whittlesey 

 shore line terminates. 



On the east side of Cazenovia creek and south of Spring Brook the 

 Whittlesey shore lies along the angling roads as distinct cliffs or bars, 

 as shown in the map. They follow the 900 foot contour, lying at 

 about 905 feet. A good display is found at the three-corners, i 

 mile southeast of Spring Brook, where all three roads lie on the 

 bars with a spit lobe forming the knoll on the northwest road. 

 South of Elma Center station, | mile, the shore lies around the 

 north point of a hill, crossing the road under the houses of Henry
