THICKNESS. The formation was, on the whole, thickest along the axis of the Amboy-Bordentown-Salem belt, and thinned both to the northwest and southeast. The greater thickness near the axis of the belt seems to be because the bottom of the valley was lowest there, when deposition began. It is probable...

We find today deposits of sands and gravels at low levels about the coast and in the lower ends of valleys and similar deposits extend far up the valleys to elevations of 140 or 150 feet along streams which have their source in the higher parts of the Coastal Plain. These deposits are called the Cape May formation, since all...

This plain was about 20 miles wide at New Brunswick, 12 miles wide at Monmouth Junction, 15 to 20 miles wide between Trenton and Philadelphia, 10 miles at Chester, 20 at Salem. Southeast of this broad valley lay the main divide of South Jersey, along the line connecting Atlantic Highlands, Mount Pleasant, Clarksburg and Berlin.
