  small

  areas 
  are 
  shown 
  on 
  the 
  map 
  to 
  lie 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  

   side 
  of 
  Wood 
  creek, 
  between 
  Fort 
  Ann 
  and 
  Comstock. 
  The 
  

   paleozoics 
  also 
  extend 
  up 
  the 
  depression 
  in 
  which 
  lies 
  Halfway 
  

   creek 
  and 
  its 
  tributary 
  from 
  the 
  South 
  bay 
  valley, 
  Calciferous 
  

   being 
  the 
  member 
  present.

  The 
  glacial 
  deposits 
  are 
  widespread 
  and 
  of 
  great 
  

   interest, 
  but 
  beyond 
  a 
  few 
  notes 
  we 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  give 
  

   them 
  important 
  study, 
  as 
  they 
  require 
  close 
  and 
  detailed 
  work. 
  

   The 
  moraine 
  that 
  lies 
  south 
  of 
  South 
  bay 
  and 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  

   already 
  referred 
  to 
  has 
  been 
  a 
  serious 
  factor 
  in 
  developing 
  the 
  

   drainage 
  relations, 
  as 
  already 
  noted 
  in 
  the 
  introductory 
  remarks 
  

   on 
  this 
  town. 
  The 
  Champlain 
  clays 
  lie 
  in 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  Wood 
  

   creek, 
  and 
  water-sorted 
  sands 
  are 
  widespread 
  in 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  town. 
  Glacial 
  striae 
  were 
  observed 
  near

  The 
  problems 
  of 
  the 
  pleistocene 
  history 
  

   of 
  this 
  section 
  must 
  be 
  largely 
  solved 
  in 
  Fort 
  Ann 
  township, 
  

   and 
  the 
  beginning 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  made 
  by 
  Messrs 
  Baldwin 
  

   and 
  G. 
  F. 
  Wright. 
  

  

  WARREN 
  CO. 
  

  

  Warren 
  co. 
  is 
  roughly 
  rectangular 
  in 
  shape 
  with 
  an 
  additional 
  

   projection 
  to 
  the 
  south 
  on 
  the 
  southeast 
  corner. 
  It 
  lies 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  

   of 
  Lake 
  George, 
  and 
  fronts 
  the 
  lake 
  for 
  two 
  thirds 
  its 
  entire 
  west- 
  

   ern 
  boundary. 
  The 
  line 
  is 
  continued 
  a 
  little 
  east 
  of 
  south 
  from 
  

   Warner 
  Bay. 
  Lake 
  George 
  itself 
  lies 
  entirely 
  in 
  Warren 
  co. 
  ex- 
  

   cept 
  for 
  a 
  small 
  portion 
  at 
  its 
  northern 
  end. 
  The 
  boundary 
  of 
  

   Warren 
  as 
  against 
  Washington 
  co. 
  is 
  the 
  eastern 
  shore 
  line 
  of 
  

   the 
  lake. 
  In 
  general 
  topography 
  the 
  county 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  series 
  

   of 
  northerly 
  and 
  southerly 
  ridges, 
  with 
  an 
  easterly 
  trend 
  more 
  

   often 
  than 
  a 
  westerly 
  and 
  with 
  several 
  marked 
  depressions. 
  

   Brant 
  lake 
  lies 
  in 
  one, 
  Schroon 
  lake 
  and 
  the 
  Schroon 
  river 
  in 
  

   another, 
  Loon 
  lake 
  and 
  Friends 
  lake 
  with 
  their 
  connecting 
  stream 
  

   in 
  another. 
  The 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson 
  cuts 
  diagonally 
  across 
  the 
  

   county 
  from 
  northwest 
  to 
  southeast. 
  In 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  

   county 
  the 
  depressions 
  are 
  chiefly 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  East 
  Branch 
  of 
  the 
  

   Sacondaga 
  river 
  (flowing 
  southwest) 
  and 
  its 
  tributaries;
