Page 25 - These benches are not readily seen from the valleys, as their narrowness and the forest that usually covers the hills give the appearance of a slope that is uniformly steep. The tops of the ridges are sharp, being frequently only wide enough for narrow trails along them. There are numerous low divides and corresponding sharp points that rise several hundred feet above them. The geologic structure has influenced the topography only to a slight degree. There are no long gentle slopes showing the structural...
