faulted at the line of the slip, but owing to subsequent erosion 
as the streams have cut downward they have been moved 
southward along the bedding planes to their present positions. 
This is true of all the streams along the fold from the south 
side of White river, in Independence count}', to the center of 
township 9 N., 17 W., with the exception of Wolf ba3'ou, 
which has its source in 12 N., 9 W., and flows northeast very 
near the axis of disturbance, sometimes crossing it, until the 
stream turns to the north to enter White river. The Devil's 
Fork of Little Red river, however, follows the rule, flowing 
from its source in 14 N., 12 W., to the southeast until it reach- 
es the south side of the fold in 12 N., 10 W. Here it turns 
directly to the southwest, and runs parallel to the fold as f^r 
as the west side of 11 N., 11 W. Little Red river flowing 
from the northwest crosses the axis in 11 N., 13 W., sectioiV 
S3. One mile south of this it turns nortlieast and continues 
parallel to the fold to where it turns to the southeast at the 
mouth of Devil's Fork. 
Choctaw creek, with its source near the axis of the fold in 
10 N., 14 W., flows northeast its whole length at the south 
side of that axis, and enters Little Red river where that river 
turns to the northeast. 
South of Eglantine is a very bold escarpment at the south 
side of the river. This escarpment rises 700 feet above the 
valley and is the most prominent topographic feature of the 
locality. It is capped with :i massive sandstone bed which 
has a general dip to the southwest, owing to which the es- 
carpment becomes lower in that direction. Beneath the tl)ick 
sandstone cap is a thick bed of shale; the breadth of the val- 
ley in the vicinity of Eglantine is due to the wearing away 
of this shale bed. Sugar Loaf mountain, in section 28, the 
northwest quarter, is a high sandstone capped peak with sliale 
at its base. It is simply an outlier of the escarpment to the 
southwest from which it has been separated by erosion. From 
the northwest its appearance is that of a truncated cone. Tlie 
sandstone cap at the top is flat. 
The mountains to the north of (Choctaw creek and Little Red 
river, though high and rugged, are not so prominent as is the 
escarpment to the south. The strata forming the mountains
