. A new centennial history of the State of Kansas [microform] : being a full and complete civil, political, and military history of the state from its earliest settlement to the present time. Natural history; Sciences naturelles. 0 if 602 Tuttle's History of Kaxsah. II one steam saw mill; in Slicriilari township, one steam grist mill, one steam mill and elevator; in Monmouth township, a steam grist mill; in Crawford township, two ilonring mills, and ono steam suwmill and elevator; and in Cuto, two steam grist and saw mills, and one grist mill. There are no -uilable water- powers in this county. The bottom lands in Crawford eounty are 15 per eent, and forest 10 per eent,, the timber being of good kinds. The bottom lands vary from half a mile to one mile in breadth, and the timber belts are about half a mile wide. The soil is, as n)ight have been anticipated, above the average in fer- tility. The principal streams are the Lightning, Thunderbolt and Limestone ereeka, Big, Little and Middle Cow creeks, Walnut, Dryvvood, Bone and Cox creeks. The Ozark range runs through this county, dividing the two sets of streams, which run in oppo- site directions. There but few springs, but well water, at from 10 to 80 feet deep can be relied upon at all seasons. Coal is plentiful, as it underlies the whole county, and the veins vary in thickness from five feet downwards.

Sandstone, limestone and slate are found, the two former generally well distributed and the quality excellent. Drywood and Cherokee have stations on the Missouri lliver, Fort Scolt and Gulf Railroad, and the Missouri, Kansas and Texas liailroad has stations at Ilepler and Glenwood, besides flag stations at other points, so that the country is well furnished with facilities for travel and traffic.
