  the 
  other 
  exposures 
  along 
  this 
  chain 
  of 
  

   the 
  Catskills 
  and 
  there 
  is 
  little

  the 
  township 
  a 
  narrow 
  valley 
  which 
  is 
  

   limited 
  by 
  high 
  hills 
  that 
  rise 
  very 
  abruptly 
  from 
  it, 
  specially 
  the 
  

   one 
  on 
  the 
  southern 
  bank 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  of 
  Livingstonville. 
  The 
  

   township 
  is 
  noticeably 
  a 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  high 
  "plateau 
  of 
  Albany 
  and 
  

   Schoharie 
  counties 
  deeply 
  trenched 
  by 
  its 
  streams. 
  In 
  the 
  

   southern 
  part 
  is 
  the 
  deep 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  Potter 
  

   hollow 
  creek; 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  is 
  the 
  upper

  across 
  the 
  central 
  part 
  is 
  Catskill 
  creek 
  with 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  

   Lake 
  brook 
  to 
  the 
  northeast; 
  while 
  the 
  northeastern 
  part 
  slopes 
  

   abruptly 
  into 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  Stony 
  creek. 
  In 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  to 
  

   the 
  north 
  of 
  Franklinton 
  is 
  a 
  marshy 
  tract 
  known 
  as 
  the 
  "vly" 
  

   forming 
  the 
  divide 
  between 
  the 
  Catskill 
  creek 
  and 
  a 
  branch 
  of 
  

   Stony 
  creek.
