and Bridgewater townships for its western boundary, while 

 Great Bend and New Milford surround it on the east. 



It is drained principally by the waters of Snake creek 

 which rises at its southern central line, and flows northward 

 ,into Liberty. 



I The rocks of this area belong to the Catskill with the ex- 

 ception of a narrow trench cut into the top of the Chemung 

 along the lower waters of Snake creek. 



There is not much of interest to be seen anywhere in this 

 area, the only rocks exposed being those of the Catskill 

 sandstone series which occur to the westward in Silver Lake 

 and other townships. These are often seen jutting out of 

 the steep hillsides in bold cliffs, or covering the surface with 

 piles of debris. 



Just north froni C. Folett's, a great ledge of greenish-gray 

 sandstone outcrops at 1750' A. T. 



Just north of the same locality, another massive sandstone 

 is seen in the hill with its base at 1700' A. T., and in de- 

 scending from this point westward the following succession 

 appears : (Fig. 14.)

These sandstones succeed each other in cliffs, just like 

 huge stepping stones, only the horizontal distance between 

 them is irregular. All have about the same physical appear- 

 ance, being current-bedded, laminated, and grayish-green 

 in color. The concealed spaces are most probably occupied 

 by red, sliales, since that kind of material is seen at the same 

 horizons in the adjoining township. 



About two miles west from this where the road crosses the 

 run near B. J. Baker's, the New Milford Lower sandstone 

 is seen in the hill at 1350' A. T.
