CHANNELS The northern edge of the plateau is a somewhat bold limestoneescarpment very irregular in contour. The north-flowing Onon-daga and Butternut creeks have cut deep valleys or trenches inthe plateau, thus dividing the escarpment on this quadrangle intothree parts. Smaller streams have cut notches between the largercreeks thus giving the escarpment a jagged as well as brokenappearance. In addition to the north-south valleys, the north end of the plateauis diversified by a number of east-west valleys or trenches acrossthe interstream areas, some of which are of considerable size andinterest; some of them near the escarpment have separated consider-able masses or outliers from the plateau, thus adding to the diversityof the relief. The peculiar interest attached to the east-west valleys is tha
