Amherst Township, a regional study

Rockwood, Ruth C

Abstract Details

1936, Master of Arts, Oberlin College, Geology.

Amherst township was selected as the area to be studied because it was believed to be as nearly representative of the aspects of land and life in north central Ohio as any small area that could be found. It is located on a section of the Lake Plain which has somewhat parallel lines formed by three beach-ridges, and on the northern edge of the Glaciated Plain. Then, the quarrying of the world famous Berea sandstone gives somewhat of an individual aspect to the small towns within Amherst township.

The purpose of the paper is to describe the physical landscape, and to interpret the influence of the natural environment upon the cultural features. Many of the essentials of the landscape forms, both physical and cultural are represented in maps, photographs, and tables.
