Book Description
Excerpt from Glacial Geology of the Schenectady Quadrangle Just east Of Aqueduct there is an abrupt change in the features of the valley. Here the ood plain Of the river comes to an end and the stream enters a narrow gorge bounded by nearly vertical walls Of rock. This portion Of the Mohawk valley, as will be more fully explained farther on, has been formed since the melting of the ice Of the Glacial period. Where the gorge ends near Vischer Ferry the valley again widens, forming a basin, but no rocks are seen on its slope until near Dunsbach Ferry where they appear on both sides Of the river. Borings made by the Deep Waterways Survey2 met with no rock at a depth of 65 feet below the surface of the basin.
