PRE-CAMBRIAN FORMATIONS 



IN PARTS OF 



Warren, Saratoga, Fulton and Montgomery Counties 



Warren county 



A brief topographic outline of Warren county was prepared 

 for one of our previous reports. 1 Complete geologic work is still 

 handicapped by the lack of topographic maps in the southwestern 

 part. The following quadrangles (i. e. the area embraced by a 

 topographic sheet, being 15 minutes of latitude by 15 minutes 

 of longitude) are wholly or in part in Warren county and have 

 been published. Xewcomb, Schroon lake, Paradox lake and 

 Ticonderoga just cross the northern boundary. Thirteenth 

 lake, Xorth creek, Bolton and Whitehall form the next tier to 

 the south. Glens Falls takes in the southeastern corner. 



Maps and geologic descriptions of the following towns will be 

 found in the report of the state geologist for 1897, the same 

 having been prepared by J. F. Kemp and D. H. Newland: Bolton, 

 p. 533; Chester, p. 535; Hague, p. 537; Horicon, p. 511; Thurman, 

 p. 543; Stonycreek, p. 511; Luzerne, p. 516. There remain Johns- 

 burg, Warrensburg, Caldwell and Queensfoury. Johnsburg is de- 

 scribed in the report of the state geologist for 1898; Cald- 

 well and Queensbury are contained in the following pages, 

 and some notes are appended on Warrensburg. We have no 

 topographic maps south of the middle line of Thurman and west 

 of Caldwell, so that in Stonycreek, Luzerne and much of War- 

 rensburg we have been at a disadvantage. The w r estern border 

 of the county is a wild and inaccessible district, and our observa- 

 tions there have been limited. 



Caldwell 



Caldwell lies at the head of Lake George, embracing the shore 

 line on both sides. It is about 7 miles long from north to south
