GEOLOGY OF THE FIRST DISTRICT. 
The primary rocks of Washington and Saratoga counties, like those of the Highlands, are 
traversed by several transverse axes of elevation and disturbance, and the rocks are more 
altered in texture and in dip than in other places. Numerous veins and beds of granitic, 
trappean, augitic and garnet rocks are to be seen in such places. The usual direction is 
eastwardly and westwardly.

The angles observed from the summit of Bull hill. New Beacon, Old Beacon, Black-rock mountain. Devil’s peak, and 
several others, have been lost. The distances between these points as stations had been calculated from the original and 
secondary bases, and some of these lines were used as bases for the determination of the location and distances of some 
of the principal hills, mountains, localities of minerals, and particular rocks; the position of the small lakes, ravines, 
valleys, streams, etc.
