Ten years ago this would have
been startling title for paper

less than one thousand inhabi.

Georgia syrup to all parts of the
country, we see tina, the indus

merchants has within the las,

a Topographic Sheet

A topographic sheet for the Velpen
quadrangle, in southern Indiana,
which comprises parts of Pike and
Dubois counties, has just been issued
by the United States Geological Sur
vey. The map shows the Winslow,
Ayrshire, Hartwell, Stendal, Velpen
and Duff coal fields.
The old Vincennes trail, which was
travelled by the early settlers along
the Ohio river valley, runs through
the northern portion of this quad
rangle, passing through the valleys of
Ireland, Otwell, Algiers and Afford.
The Patoka river valley occupies
the center of the quadrangle and is
we'll defined on the map, it's topo-
graphy or relief being clearly shown
by contour lines which pass through
points of equal elevation above sea
level and thus accurately outline the
valley and the slopes of the surround
ing country, as of the whole quadran-
gle. These contour lines are a char
acteristic and most valuable feature of
the Surveys topographic maps, and
often enable the civil or mining engi-
neer to tell almost at a glance to what
approximate depth he must excavate
a railroad cut or bore a test hole in
order to attain a given aim. This map
is drawn on a scale of about one mile
to the inch. 1t may be purchased for
five cents from the Director of the
United States Geological Survey, OF
Washington, d. C.
