Book Description

During the early 1980s, Totten was assigned to map several counties in eastern north-central Ohio. Totten produced manuscript reports and draft maps for each of these counties. The original goal was to publish a report of investigations for each county map and report that Totten produced, but the maps and manuscripts were left unpublished. It should be noted that these maps and reports are scanned as-is and may include typos, errors, editorial notes, and other marks. Maps are largely hand-colored and may represent the "final" of several versions. Legends accompanying the maps also may be hand-colored. The Survey feels that these manuscripts may be of value to the public, academia, and perhaps consulting/geotechnical geologists. The reports contain a tremendous amount of particle size and mineralogical data and in-depth discussions of the materials and stratigraphy. The maps depict only the uppermost surficial materials and geomorphology, and they are very detailed. The maps and reports are of value to those who might need info on the background geology of a specific county, are doing detailed work in the county, or have a keen interest in the glacial geology of north-central Ohio.
