Description: A map from 1911 of the southern Appalachian mountain system showing the deformed Cretaceous Peneplain, and the areas not reduced to base level by wasting. The map is keyed to show the area of the coastal plain, bordering plateaus, the Great Appalachian Valley, and the areas, indicated in black, not reduced to base level. The axes of deformation are represented by the broken lines, AB, CD, EF, GH, and OP. Contour lines represent elevations of restored surface.
