Excerpt from Studies in Geology: A Laboratory Manual Based on Topographic Maps and Folios of the United States Geological Survey, for Use With Classes in Physiographic and Structural Geology This manual is a combination of the exercises now in use in the laboratories of the authors, with students of somewhat advanced grade. It is offered to teachers and students in the belief that a clear understanding of topographic maps contributes in an important way to a thorough knowledge of Physiography and physiographic geology, and that the use of these maps should be carried far enough to make them almost as familiar as the printed page. It is hoped that the manual may be useful to students who are under the direction of teachers who are familiar with modern methods of laboratory work in physiography and physical geology, as well as to those who are not so fortunate. The subject involved is not inherently difficult and may be mastered by any serious student, whether he be pupil or teacher, or altogether independent of schools. The work is based on topographic maps (and a few folios) of the United States Geological Survey, and on a key to the interpretation of topographic maps, published by the same survey. It is intended for the use of students how have some knowledge of physiography, or who are sufficiently mature to take up the subject in a somewhat thoroughgoing way. It might well be used, for example, by students using Chamberlin and Salisbury's Geology, Vol. I (Geologic Processes) for a text. While the outline follows the general order of this text, it may be adapted to courses based on any other standard text of similar scope.
