GEOLOGY OF THE REGION AROUND 

 HAGERSVILLE. 



BY

GENERAL DESCRIPTION. 



Hagersville is located in the midst of a compara- 

 tively level tract of land, although to the north and east 

 the country becomes somewhat rolling. This region is 

 a part of the glacial plain over which the marginal lakes 

 of the receding continental glacier spread. The effect of 

 this water action, however, has been slight and the flatness 

 of the region is due, chiefly, to the position of the underlying 

 bed rock, for the drift covering is often very thin. The 

 land, especially to the south, is excellent for agricultural 

 purposes, the chief crops being wheat, oats and hay. Ten 

 miles (16 km.) to the southwest lies the famous fruit region 

 of Norfolk county where some of the finest apples grown 

 on the North American continent are produced. 



The main street of Hagersville is the Old Indian Line 

 which separates the white man's land from that of the red 

 man, the latter being allotted that to the northeast. 

 The reservation has been somewhat reduced by purchase, 

 so that now it lies entirely to the north of town. Other
