Description
Excerpt from History of Stark County: With an Outline Sketch of Ohio
North of this ridge the surface is generally level, with a gentle inclination toward the lake, the ine qualities of the surface being caused by the streams which empty into the lake. The central part of Ohio is almost, in general, a level plain, about one thousand feet above the level of the sea, slightly inclining southward. The Southern part of the State is rather hilly, e valleys growing deeper as they incline toward the great valley of the Ohio, which is several hundred feet below the general level of the State. In the southern counties, the surface is generally diversified by the inequalities produced by the excavating power of the Ohio River and its tributaries, exercised through long periods of time. There are afew prairies, or plains, in the central and northwestern parts of the State, but over its greater portion originally existed im mense growths of timber.
