The beach materials become finer as the ridge turns to the east. For a short distance next, its location is not definite, though apparently it is followed by the railroad siding to the stone quarry. Eastward from the quarry the Whittlesey is a well developed beach ridge, and thus continues for about a mile when it becomes a cliff cut around the northern slope of a Berea outlier, the top of which is covered with Maumee sands and Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Denison University; Denison Scientific Association.
