Chert Gravel and Neogene Drainage in East-central Kansas--Fig. 11

Fig. 11. Chert Gravel near Flint Hills Crest. High-terrace chert gravel resting on Kinney Limestone, in headwaters of the Little Walnut drainage, near crest of Flint Hills [elevation, 450 m (1,475 ft) or more] in eastern Butler County. This terrace gravel contains exotic quartzite derived from the west. The presence of exotics here implies a reversal in drainage since the Miocene. Scale pole marked in feet.
