Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Soils of Southern New Jersey and Their Uses
The general surface features of southern New Jersey may be described as those of a gently sloping plain of low relief which is marked by a ridge extending from the Atlantic coast line near Sandy Hook to the vicinity of Delaware Bay, near Bridgeton, N. J. (see fig. 3, p. From this ridge the land surface slopes unequally toward the southeast and toward the northwest. The former slope frequently is at the rate of less than 5 feet to the mile, but the latter usually is greater and frequently is accomplished by steeper slopes intervening between areas which are gently sloping or nearly level. It is estimated by the New Jersey Geological Survey that less than 15 square miles of the section rise above an altitude of 200 feet and that not more than 120 square miles rise above 100 feet in elevation.
