Description:Excerpt from Kentucky Geological Survey, Vol. 4 This report follows a recent examination in detail of practically all coal openings which were open to inspection on Goose creek and its tributaries in Clay and Knox counties. A general review of the field is first presented, after which follow details of the coal openings visited, including correlations where practicable, and other comments as they appear pertinent. The accompanying map gives the principal streams as recently surveyed by the State Geological Survey, the location and altitude above tide of most of the coal openings visited and of some of the principal points along Goose creek and Collins fork, the latter as determined by lines of levels by the same survey. With these levels for use as a base, heights of coal openings were determined by barometer, and are considered sufficiently accurate for use in this report, being much more so than when reliance had to be placed on topographical contours for basic heights. The topography of the basin, as elsewhere in this coal field consists of narrow valleys enclosed by steep ridges with sharp summits, the hills varying in height generally from 400 to 800 feet above the valleys, the highest being in Kentucky ridge at the head of the creek. A reduction of average height and steepness from the east toward the west seems to have resulted from more rapid weathering westward, due to replacement of sandstone by shales in that direction. The measures exposed above drainage include nearly 200 feet of the measures below the Manchester coal, on Little Goose creek, and probably about 1,000 feet of strata above the same coal on the upper part of Goose creek, the highest part being exposed in Kentucky ridge. Though many of the streams have had their course determined by the dip of strata along them, such is not the case with many others.
