Book excerpt: Excerpt from New York State Museum, January, 1905: Geology of the Vicinity of Little Falls, Herkimer County The area comprised in the Little Falls atlas sheet lies mostly north of the Mohawk river between East Canada and West Canada creeks. The Mohawk runs across the sheet near its southern edge. The Canada creeks diverge and run out of, the sheet limits, East Canada to the east, and West Canada to the west, about midway between the Mohawk and the north border of the sheet. The map extends over 15' of latitude, 43 to 43 15' n., and 15' of longitude, 74 45' to 75 w., comprising about 218 square miles. Its geographic association is with the Adirondack highland region and the Mohawk valley lowland. South of the Mohawk the altitude rises quickly to that of the' dissected plateau region of southern New York, this being wholly without the map limits. The lowland is worn down on a belt of rocks which are weak as compared with those to the north and the south. It is much nar rower here than farther west, for the reason that rocks which here are resistant and hence belong to the plateau district, become both weaker and thicker as they are followed to the west, so that the belt which they underlie becomes merged with that of the low land.
