Brainfield Base = 882 NGS.
From Dunnsville village 3/4 mile
then 1 1/2 miles to Jackson creek.
Brainfield top at 925 and base
estimated at 970, NGS. The top
of Brainfield is difficult to distine
guish from the Dayton since only
the top layer is granular here and
below the rock is finer grained.
The only way I can tell is fairly
exposed. The bottom 24 inches of
the Dayton is rotten and not
thick bedded. C & W'd drift
immediately above.
