throw is clearly exhibited in the creek bottom between Prospect 

 falls and the highway bridge. The topographic map is here not 

 accurate in detail and the following sketch map will give a better 

 idea regarding the location of the fault. 



Before reaching the falls the stream flows due west and at the 

 falls makes a sharp turn to flow about 200 yards east-southeast till 

 the fault line is struck. At the latter point another sharp turn is

 of the fault near the village of Prospect 



made so that the stream flows west-southwest for 50 or 60 yards, 

 and parallel to the fault line. Then the course of the stream is 

 due south to the highway bridge. Where the creek flows parallel 

 to the fault line the fault plane is clearly exposed and in reality 

 forms the north bank of the creek [see pi. 6 and 7]. The strike 

 of the fault is n. 70 e. and the dip of the fault plane is 55 to the 

 south. It is a thrust fault with the downthrow side on the north 

 [see fig. 3]. The rocks on the downthrow side are the thick bedded, 

 coarse crystalline limestones belonging at the summit of the Tren- 

 ton formation. These rocks form a bold rocky point extending
