CHAPTER I
NATURAL FEATURES
GENERAL GEOLOGY OF THE COUNTY-THE SOIL-NATURAL DRAINAGE-GEOLOGY IN DETAIL-THE DRIFT-BUILDING STONE- LIME-CLAY-BOG ORE-OIL AND GAS-CLIMATE AND EARLY TIMES.
Seneca county lies in the northwestern part of Ohio, im- mediately south of Sandusky county, and contains fifteen town- ships in the form of a rectangular parallelogram. It is bounded east by Huron county, south by Crawford and Wyandot, and west by Hancock and Wood counties. It is thirty miles long, east and west, and eighteen wide.
The Sandusky river, which intersects the county about mid- way, is the principal stream. Tributaries join it from the east and west and complete the drainage system of the county. These which enter the Sandusky from the west have a general course northeast till they unite with the stream; but those from the west flow first southwesterly, changing when within about five miles of the river, almost at a right angle from that direction, and flow northwest until they join the Sandusky. This is a peculiarity not confined to this county, and may be due to the halting retreat of the glacier, when throwing down the unmodified drift with which that portion of the county is covered. The divides between these creeks, along their upper waters, would in that case, be the moraine accumulations, which. further west and at lower levels, were not sufficient to divert the drainage from the general course of the main valley.
The county presents a diversity of surface. The northwestern part, including the townships of Jackson, Liberty and Pleasant. the northern half of Hopewell, and a small part of Loudon. pre- sents the peculiar features of the lacustrine region, as already defined. The Niagara limestone rises in wide undulations above the surface of the drift. and is as frequently supplied with sandy accumulations and boulders as in counties further north. The surface of these townships otherwise is very flat. The remainder of Vol. 1-1
