The road turns straight east, then NE. No good outcrop. Brassfield extends along road from 820 corner south as far as first fence in W side of this new road, alter in road angle SW to 820 corner. NE corner 820 is rally, then muddy, then highest land with no exposure. A low hill NE, no exposure for any distance. Half way to the school is white clay, age uncertain, but probably Cretaceous. At the C manor point it is similar White clay, possibly Crat Lichard, London 1 mi NE, while Sinking Spring road a Baker orch road crosses. Middle Fork rock strikes NNW and dips NE, bringing up West Main mtf. It dips NE. Then NE to house on little projection. In first little stream valley NE corner is Brassfield at outcrop, dipping SW south. The next stream valley appears to be mapped by Crat Lichard, overlaid at top ridge by West Main dipping south down the ridge, and still Steeple eastward. Eastward a very short lane leads N to farm. Where Baker orch road takes W bend by Baker creek, decorated white band &: mud rock is exposed. This undulating immediately eastward by that part of the banded mottled stone examined West Main which undulated the Holsphraguna clay zone, but not Holsphraguna clay appears me same line. Dip = W steep. At corner 689 outcrop also shows up, if road, overlaid by Lower Red Main as that the Lower Whitefieldella bed occurs at 700 about, dipping SW southward. Immediately E of 659 corner the road turns NNE. Here from West Main is shown above the road level while Crat Lichard is seen beneath, south of the road. House on farm S side of roads on hill side NE of this house, west of a faintly long valley, is Brassfield ditch, including Holsphraguna & Magna. This strikes departingly north east bringing it below this dry stream level within 200 feet of Baker road. At house on farm and in road bed NE Brassfield dipping E as though a low anticlinal ran through here north eastward. NE corner & fence a lone cincein from the SE. Further on is low flat valley and NE this valley the little projection is made up of mud rock.
