The seam of coal from Mr. Collins’s dips rapidly down the Hast Fork 
of Duck Creek. A mile above the mouth of Road Fork the seam is only 
twenty-five to thirty feet above the stream, while three-fourths of a mile 
up Road Fork the seam is ninety feet above the latter stream. These 
facts show local undulations in the strata. 
ELK TOWNSHIP. 
This is the south-eastern township of the county. “It les chiefly upon 
the waters of the Hast Fork of Duck Creek, but in the southern part are 
some of the sources of Pawpaw Creek. The land is generally hilly, but 
the limestone layers in almost all the hills tend to render the soil fertile. 
The principal seam of coal is the Cumberland seam, which is every 
where to be found in its appropriate geological horizon. In section 25 
the following geological section was taken :
