on the high coteau, but extends westwardto the plain of the James River valley. The coteau consists of ahigh ridge of glacial deposits underlain by a great thickness of Pierreshale. The Dakota sandstone underlies the entire county, having adepth of about a thousand feet at Andover, but being very muchdeeper under the highlands to the east. It appears to dip gently to thewest, judging from its difference in altitude in the well at Milbankand at other places in the James River valley.
