Introduction 
Physiography of Area and Nature of Problem 
This paper will endeavor to prove by the intensive investigation 
of a limited area a dynamic phenomenon which has probably 
influenced much of the drainage history of Ohio. The area 
considered includes practically the whole of Licking county, with 
the village of Granville as the approximate center and offering in 
its physiographic environment the most decisive' proofs for the 
contentions made. 
‘‘Licking county lies near the center of Ohio and its present 
drainage is by the Licking river, which is formed at Newark by
