These elevations when studied closely and comparatively, impress uponthe mind the conviction that the topography of the county was that of a plainor plateau at some time in the past; that this land stood at a much lower altitudethan now, in fact was sea-bottom for ages. It has since been raised graduallyto its present elevation. The high hills which are noted in the list of elevationspreserved because of the fact that the rocks forming them were unusually hard,and therefore, they were protected from erosion. The uneven surface wasproduced by the uneven density and hardness of the ASH CAMP ROCK, ON BUCKHAXNOX RiVEK.
