The Abandoned Shorelines of the Oherlin Ouadrangh\ Ohio 105 Butternut Ridg-e and is less than half a mile distant, represents the lower Alaumee level.

Its western end shows successive positions due to the development of spits into the deepening- waters of the bay. Many lagoons for- merly existed between Butternut and Chestnut Ridges. Between the two branches of the river I was unable to locate a continuous shoreline of the lower Maumee; it is represented by only one short ridge, consisting mostly of weathered clay, wave- eroded from the subjacent shale, directly south of Elyria. Sugar Ridge is obviously an off-shore barrier of the lower Maumee stage. It has a symmetrical development (fig. i D, E) and, from the numerous bowlders, particularly along its eastern half, I infer that the barrier may have been initiated by an irregular deposit of glacial drift. Extending northward from a point near the middle of Murray Ridge I have mapped a structure which resembles a barrier through part of its course; elsewhere its strength of development implies a regular shoreline. This inference is based partly on other Maumee deposits directly north, deposits which indicate this level declined gradually, thus converting part of the barrier int(3 a Fig. 2 Cuspate foreland of the Warren stage, south of Lorain.
