Cottonwood Falls folio, Kansas

The Cottonwood Falls quadrangle lies between parallels 38° and 38° 30' and meridians 96° 30' and 97°, and therefore constitutes a quarter of a square degree of the earth's surface.

Scarcely a great mountain range exists, or has existed, along the course of which belts of slaty rock are not found, the dip of the cleavage usually approaching verticality. Are these slate belts equivalent
