Excerpt from Preliminary Report on the Economic Geology of the Hartford Quadrangle: And on the Soils of the Same Quadrangle, Field Work Done in 1910The Hartford Quadrangle is located almost entirely in Ohio County near the eastern border of the Western Ken tucky Coalfield. The Illinois Central Railroad crosses it in an approximate north-east south - west direction, the town of Beaverdam on that road being, not far north of the center. In this report, the area has been divided in to four equal divisions and page - maps prepared of each quarter. The topographic sheet of this quadrangle, made in co-opera tion with the U. S. Geological Survey, has served as a base in the preparation of these maps. A sufficient amount of the drainage and culture is shown. To enable a proper discussion of the geology and to make locations definite.This report is prepared especially to meet the demands of the practical mining man. It is not so complete as may be desired nor does the writer presume it is without errors. The best efforts have been put to use, however, to furnish accurate data and to give herein such informa tion as will, at present, fill the greatest demand. A fuller discussion of the mineral resources, general geology, and scientific deductions is reserved for a final bulletin cover ing this and a larger area.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
