Remarks: Water is abundant throughout the County, and bears an excellent character – it assimilates somewhat to Rain Water – in some parts a small portion of Lime may be detected in it. The only rock found in the County is Secondary Limestone, which is well calculated for building purposes, procured without much labor being quarried in layers of from two inches to six inches in thickness – It is very abundant.
