172 OIL AND GAS; OHIO, WEST VIRGINIA, PENNSYLVANIA. 
of the hill north of Point Lookout, near the head of reservoir No. 3. 
From this point the outcrop of the Middle Washington limestone and 
Jollytown coal encircles the hills in a continuous line on the east side 
of the creek southward to a point on the Prosperity pike opposite 
the third road to the west, south of Lagonda. On the west side of 
the valley the heavy yellow bed of the Middle Washington limestone, 
with the Jollytown coal from 15 to 25 feet above, is present oil all 
the roads leading to the west. 
Lower W ashington limestone and AY ashing ton and Uttle Wash¬ 
ington coals .—This group of beds shows on both sides of Chartiers 
Valley from West Washington to a point 3 miles south of Lagonda. 
The Lower Washington limestone is rather heavy and at many places 
is overlain by a stray coal bed from G to 14 inches thick. Where the 
Washington anticline crosses the headwaters of Tenmile Creek the 
Washington coal is brought to the surface for a mile or more. It 
occurs at the road forks east of the Mannon oil well about 25 feet 
above the valley. To the north it goes under cover in the bed of the 
run just south of the brick schoolhouse. At this point it is only 12 
feet lower than at the Mannon well. South of this well the coal is 
exposed as far as the first road to the west leading to Pleasant Grove. 
Up this road it outcrops at the junction of the first road to the south. 
Down the valley road to Prosperity the stray coal above mentioned, 
overlying the Lower Washington limestone, is exposed in several 
places. The coal is at least 1 foot thick, embedded in 2 or 3 feet of 
black shale. The Lower Washington limestone occurs in unusually 
heavy beds along this valley and closely overlies the Washington coal. 
In the valley of Chartiers Creek, 1 mile south of Lagonda, the 
steep dip to the southeast soon carries the Washington coal under 
cover, but to the northwest its outcrop line extends some distance up 
the tributaries of Chartiers Creek. This coal is about 5 feet thick, 
including several shale partings, and has been opened in several 
places along the creek, but it is of so inferior a quality that most of 
the banks have been abandoned. The Little Washington coal in- 
variably accompanies this coal. At some places it is 16 inches thick, 
hard and blocky, and remarkably free from shale partings. 
MORRIS TOWNSHIPS, WASHINGTON AND GREENE COUNTIES. 
It q*ll be noted by examining the map (PL X, pocket) that the 
Washington and Greene County line, which separates the two Morris 
townships, enters the Claysville quadrangle about 1 mile southwest 
of Old Concord. From that point it has an easterly direction to the 
top of the high ridge, half a mile south of that village, and thence 
follows the ciest line of this v T atershed, leaving* the quadrangle 
on its east border half a mile south of Dunns Station. Only that
