Valley and Ridge Topographic Profile

This diagram shows a topographic profile of most of the districts in the Valley and Ridge Physiographic Section and their relationship to the underlying geology. The extent of the dips and ridges is exaggerated somewhat to make them more visible. Red lines indicate thrust faults, and the blue line shows the base of the Pottsville sandstone.
