Abstract |
Color print, mounted on linen. A legend in the lower right hand corner lists the colors used to illustrate the distribution of rock formations from various geological periods and the symbols used to indicate mineral deposits (iron, gold, silver, lead, and copper). Profiles appear as insets showing elevations and rock formations of sections of the state from the Dan River to Fayetteville; from the Tennessee state line, at the Hiwassee, to the Catawba River; and from the Tennessee line, at the French Broad River, to New Bern. Includes roads, railroads, rivers, cities and towns, county boundaries, schools, mills, lighthouses, and mountain peaks with elevation. Depth shown by shading. |
