TUSCARAWAS COUNTY. 53 
between Dover and New Philadelphia are underlain by two hundred feet 
of sand, gravel, and bowlders, which have been filled into the old valley 
since the remote period when the continent stood higher; the drainage 
was freer than now, and the Tuscarawas flowed with a rapid stream far 
below its present bed.

and southern portions of the county, the highlands are without drift, the 
slopes of the hills, ravines, and roads showing the geological structure 
distinctly, and the soil is derived exclusively from the decomposition of 
the underlying rocks. This difference in the character of the surface 
deposits is also indicated by the material transported by the streams. 
’ Most of those which flow from the north bring down drift-gravel and 
bowlders, and have sandy or gravelly bottoms; while those which flow 
into the Tuscarawas from the south, south-east, and south-west, carry 
only the wash from the shales of the Coal Measures, and their valleys 
have clay bottoms. 
The soil of Tuscarawas county, being for the most part of local origin, 
varies considerably in different localities, and in this respect wants the
