The white western area is less than 1,000 ft. in elevation. The effect of this geosyncline on the topography is not, however, somarked as. might have been expected. Not only the coal-measures (of 94 Federal Handbook. Permo-Carboniferous age), but also earlier and later deposits have participatedin the far-reacliing coastal movements of Tertiary times. On thewhole, we may describe the Cordillera region here as having a gentle slope.

These, however, occurred so longago that coastal erosion has gnawed away the sharp faulted edges. .0^ >^ /? .# ^^ / >tr
