About this book
The text is Bulletin No. 30, Drainage Modifications and Glaciation in the Danbury Region, Connecticut, by Ruth Sawyer Harvey, Ph. D., Hartford, 1920. The text says that the smaller streams developed on the softer rocks are generally parallel to each other and to the strike of the rocks, and that they commonly bend around the ends of the hills but do not cross them. The narrowness of the belts of soft rock makes it easy for the drainage of the valleys to be gathered by a single lengthwise stream, and the Still and its larger tributaries conform in this way to the structure.
The text says that the largest eastern tributary, Beaver Brook, is in a preglacial valley now converted into a swamp, the location and size of which are due entirely to a belt of limestone. The text says that the row of kames at the north end of Umpog Swamp, several knolls of drift in Bethel, and the kame-like deposits and esker north of Grassy Plain were laid down successively as the ice retreated down the valley.
