This guidebook examines the terrain and the Pleistocene deposits on a general west-to-east transect from Columbus, near the center of the late Wisconsinan Scioto lobe, to Black Hand Gorge, at the eastern margin of the Illinoian advance in eastern Licking County. An introductory section provides an overview of the geology and paleodrainage history of the area. An annotated road log describes the geology along the field-trip route. Six stops, one in Franklin County and five in Licking County, are described in detail.
