Synopsis
Excerpt from The Preglacial Drainage of Ohio: Comprising the Results of Researches Made by Members of the Academy of Science, by the Aid of the McMillin Research Fund
The great variation in width of different portions of the Ohio valley has also awaited explanation. A traveler from Pitts burg to Evansville will find the hills on either side alternately approaching the water and receding from it. In some parts they are so steep and come so near together, as to form a veritable gorge; again, level or terraced bottom lands a mile or even more in width intervene between the shores and the high lands. Moreover, there is no system or regularity about these changes. Sometimes there may be observed a gradual increase in width.
