MORROW COUNTY. 255 
Thus, in the eastern part of the county, where the sandstone beds he 
nearly horizontal wherever exposed, there are short undulations in the 
natural surface of over three hundred feet, and that, too, without any ex- 
posure of the rock. It is altogether improbable that the Drift has that 
thickness. It is more reasonable to suppose that the rocks themselves 
suffered erosion, and embraced valleys running according to the direction 
of drainage before the deposit of the Drift. 
Soil and Timber.—The soil of the county presents great diversity. The 
flat portions of the county have a heavy clay soil. The sandstone dis- 
trict, and the belt of rolling land that marks the junction of the Berea 
grit with the Bedford shale, have a lighter and more porous soil. Stones 
and gravel are almost never seen in the western part of the county, but 
in the eastern the plow turns them up constantly. The timber varies 
noticeably with the change in the soil. Probably one-half of the native 
forest trees in the county are beech, while another quarter is made up of 
sugar maple, ash, and oak. The chestnut is confined to the rolling and 
gravelly portions of the county. In the survey of the county the follow- 
ing species of timber were noted:
