278 H. L. FAIRCHILD — LAKE WARREN SHORELINES : GENEVA BEACH. 



a stiff till, with direction west of south and roughly parallel to the 

 Genesee valley, of which they form the east slope. 



Four miles northeast of the village of Geneseo good shoreline features 

 have been found. Opposite the house of Mr Samuel Cully, on the west 

 side of a north-and-south road, is a stony drumlin which has had the 

 north end cut away and the material swept eastward into a curving spit 

 which nearly spanned the adjacent hollow. This spit now has a length 

 to the stream gully of 40 or 50 rods, with a width of 10 to 15 rods. 



A short distance northward, 

 on the west side of the same 

 highway, a neat bar of clear 

 gravel occurs opposite the 

 house of Mr James Weeks. 

 From this point the shoreline 

 follows the west slope of a 

 drumlin for about a mile in a 

 northeast direction. At a small 

 creek it forms a good gravel 

 ridge, and so continues for an- 

 other mile, crossing a stream 

 and two highways (one being 

 the east-and-west town-line 

 road) j ust east of their intersec- 

 tion. This line of beach for- 

 mation ends a quarter of a mile 

 north of the road on the edge 

 of the Conesus outlet valley. 



Across this narrow valley 

 (which is followed by the Erie 

 railroad), over one- half mile to 

 the west of the point last men- 

 tioned, the beach reappears as 

 a cliff- line, but becomes a fine 

 ridge at school number 5, at another four corners. A gravel pit may be 

 seen here revealing beach structure. The beach follows the road leading 

 northeast, crossing to. the east side, then in one-half mile recrossing to 

 the west side, under the house of Mr Seymour Johnson, at the forks in 

 the road. For a quarter of a mile it follows along the west side of the 

 northern road, then diverges and soon crosses an east-and-west road 

 under the house of Mr John Hooker. Turning northeast, in about three- 

 fourths of a mile it crosses another east-and-west road under the house of 

 Mrs William Davis ; then as a cliff-line it soon crosses the north-and- 



Morainic Ridge
