Description: A map from 1911 of the Atlantic slope from the Minas Basin in the Bay of Fundy to the northern boundary of South Carolina showing the Triassic age formation known as the Newark formation of rocks, principally sandstones, shales, and conglomerates. The general distribution of the formation does not occur as a continuous body of rock, but as a series of elongated and detached areas. The map shows the fall–line and indicates the direction of strata dip by arrows.
