Qpl Qfl2l Qfl2 Qpml Qpgl INTRODUCTION Surficial deposits in the Paterson quadrangle include artificial fill, alluvial, alluvial- fan, swamp, talus, and stream-terrace deposits, all of postglacial age; glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial deposits of late Wisconsinan age; and till of late Wisconsinan and possible Illinoian age. Postglacial deposits are generally less than 30 feet thick. Glaciofluvial sand and gravel deposits are also generally less than 30 feet thick. The glaciolacustrine deposits include stratified sand, gravel, silt, and clay and are as much as 180 feet thick. Till is as much as 100 feet thick. The accompanying map and sections show the surface extent and subsurface relations of these deposits. The composition and thickness of the deposits, and the glacial and postglacial events they record, are described in the Description of Map Units. Well and boring data used to construct bedrock-surface elevation contours and to infer the subsurface distribution of the deposits are provided in table 1 (in pamphlet). The composition of pebbles in the surficial deposits is shown in table 2 (in pamphlet). The chronologic relationships of the deposits are shown in the Correlation of Map Units. Aquifer properties of the deposits are briefly described below. AQUIFER PROPERTIES Hydraulic conductivities of the surficial deposits may be estimated from statewide glacial aquifer-test data on file at the N. J. Geological Survey (Mennel and Canace, 2001) and published aquifer-test and laboratory data summarized by Stanford and Witte (in press). Sand and gravel deposits (units Qho1, Qho2, Qho3, Qfl1, Qfl2, Qfl3, Qfl2f, Qpm, Qpg, Qnh, Qpr, Qpt, Qmt, Qve, Qdw, Qsh1, Qsh2, Qic, Qst, Qaf, and parts of Qal and Qsp) are highly permeable, having estimated hydraulic conductivities that range from 10 to 10 feet per day (ft/d). Sandy till and silty sand 1 3 till (Qn, parts of Qr and Qry) are also permeable, having estimated hydraulic conductivities from 10 to 10 ft/d. Silt and clay lake-bottom deposits (parts of units -1 2 Qpml, Qpgl, Qpl) are of low permeability, having estimated hydraulic conductivities of 10 to 10 ft/d. Fine sand and silt lake-bottom, alluvial, and wetland deposits -5 -3 (Qfl2l and parts of units Qpml, Qpgl, Qpr, Qal, Qsp, and Qs) and sandy silt till (parts of units Qr and Qry) are somewhat more permeable, having estimated hydraulic conductivities of 10 to 10 ft/d. Swamp deposits (Qs) and fill (af) have variable -3 -1 hydraulic conductivities that depend on the clay and silt content of the material. Peats with little mineral soil, and fill composed of sand, cinders, gravel, demolition debris, slag, and trash, may be highly permeable. DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS Postglacial Deposits--These include man-made fill (af), stream deposits in fans (Qaf), terraces (Qpt, Qst), and modern channels and floodplains (Qal), talus (Qta), and wetland deposits in swamps (Qs). They were all deposited since retreat of the late Wisconsinan glacier about 18,000 yrs B. P. (years before present). ARTIFICIAL FILL--Artificially emplaced sand, gravel, silt, clay, and rock fragments, and man-made materials including cinders, ash, brick, concrete, wood, slag, asphalt, metal, glass, and trash. Color variable but generally dark brown, gray, or black. As much as 60 feet thick but generally less than 20 feet thick. Many small areas of fill are not mapped. Some areas of fill are inferred from the extent of swamps and alluvial deposits shown on manuscript geologic and topographic maps on file at the N. J. Geological Survey (ca. 1900). Qal ALLUVIUM--Sand, silt, pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor clay; dark brown, brown, reddish-brown, gray; moderately to well sorted, stratified to massive. Contains variable amounts of organic matter, demolition debris, and trash. As much as 20 feet thick. Qaf ALLUVIAL FAN DEPOSITS--Pebble-to-cobble gravel, sand, minor silt; brown to yellowish-brown; moderately sorted, stratified. As much as 20 feet thick (estimated). Qst STREAM TERRACE DEPOSITS--Sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor silt; brown, yellowish-brown, reddish-brown; moderately to well sorted, stratified. As much as 20 feet thick (estimated). Forms terraces with surfaces slightly above the modern floodplain along Peckman River and Preakness Brook. Qpt PASSAIC TERRACE DEPOSIT--Sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor silt; reddish-brown to yellowish-brown, brown; moderately to well- sorted, stratified. Deposited by the Passaic River after glacial lakes drained. As much as 30 feet thick. Qs SWAMP DEPOSITS--Peat and organic silt, clay, and fine sand; black, dark brown, and gray. As much as 40 feet thick (Waksman and others, 1943, p. 200), but generally less than 20 feet thick. Qta TALUS--Angular chips, flagstones, cobbles, and, locally, boulders, of basalt, with little or no matrix material. Forms aprons at base of cliffs. As much as 10 feet thick (estimated). Many small talus deposits not mapped. Qe EOLIAN SAND--Fine sand, yellowish-brown to very pale brown. Forms small dunes on surface of the Passaic terrace in Totowa and Paterson. As much as 15 feet thick. Glacial Deposits--These include till and stratified sediments. Till is a poorly sorted, nonstratified sediment containing gravel clasts and boulders, deposited directly from glacial ice (units Qn, Qr, Qry, Qb). The stratified sediments are generally well sorted. They include sand and gravel laid down by glacial meltwater in river plains (Qmt) and in glacial-lake deltas and fans (Qho1, Qho2, Qho3, Qfl1, Qfl2, Qfl3, Qfl2f, Qpm, Qpg, Qhn, Qpr, Qve, Qdw, Qsp). The stratified sediments also include silt, clay, and fine sand deposited on the bottoms of glacial lakes (Qfl2l, Qpml, Qpgl, Qpl) and moderately to poorly sorted sand and gravel deposited in ice-walled basins and ponds (Qic). All of these deposits are of late Wisconsinan age except Qb, which may be of Illinoian age. The orientation of striations and distribution of till indicates that late Wisconsinan ice advanced toward the southwest across the Paterson quadrangle. This ice was on the west side of an advancing lobe channeled between the Palisades Ridge to the east and the Watchung Mountains to the west (Salisbury, 1902; Stanford and Harper, 1991). During advance the land surface was shaped by glacial erosion. Throughout most of the quadrangle, older glacial deposits and soils were stripped off and the underlying sandstone and basalt bedrock was eroded into streamlined forms. Elevation contours of the bedrock surface, plotted at 50-foot interval on the map, show this streamlined topography. Sandstone and shale were locally eroded into closed-basin troughs beneath the Passaic Valley east of First Watchung Mountain, in West Paterson and Totowa, and at the south end of Preakness Valley. Where the ice did not erode deeply, for example, beneath the drumlin in Ridgewood, along the east slope of Preakness Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain, and in scattered locations east of First Watchung Mountain, earlier glacial deposits (Qb, Qsp) are locally preserved beneath till. Till was deposited discontinuously on the bedrock surface. It is thickest on the east- and northeast-facing slopes of the Watchung ridges, which faced the advancing ice, and on sandstone uplands east of First Watchung Mountain, where it forms drumlins or contributes to the streamlined shape of bedrock ridges. It is thin and patchy on the top and west slopes of the Watchung ridges, where bedrock outcrop is abundant. The late Wisconsinan till includes three varieties: a yellowish- brown to gray silty sand till (Netcong till, Qn) derived mostly from the gneiss bedrock of the Hudson Highlands, just north of the quadrangle, a reddish-brown silty sand to sandy silt till (Rahway till, Qr) derived from the local red sandstone bedrock, and a yellow to reddish-yellow sandy silt till (Rahway till, yellow phase, Qry) derived from local basalt. Netcong till was deposited chiefly on uplands in the northern part of the quadrangle where the base of the glacier had not travelled far in contact with the local bedrock, whereas Rahway till (both Qr and Qry) was deposited elsewhere in the quadrangle, where ice had travelled some distance in contact with local bedrock. Late Wisconsinan ice advanced to its southernmost position at Perth Amboy, about 40 miles south of Paterson. The ice front began to retreat from this position before 20,000 yrs B. P., and had likely retreated north of the Paterson quadrangle by 18,000 yrs B. P. (Stanford and Harper, 1991). The retreating ice margin maintained a lobate form with an apex centered in the broad lowland east of the quadrangle. Recessional ice margins, which are marked by ice-contact glaciolacustrine deposits, trend north-south or slightly northwest-southeast in the Paterson quadrangle (fig. 1). The retreating ice margin dammed east- or north-draining valleys, including the main Passaic Valley, to form the glacial lakes in which most of the recessional deposits were laid down. Glacial-stream deposits were laid down in three valleys after lakes drained. Details of the history of glacial lakes and glacial streams are provided in the following description of map units. Names of the lakes follow those of Stone and others (2002). Till overlying deformed lacustrine deposits was observed in two exposures in the Preakness Valley and was formerly exposed in two clay pits in Totowa. These exposures, and westerly striations on Second Watchung Mountain in Totowa that cut across the earlier southwesterly regional striations, suggest a local readvance of the ice margin (from M1 to M2 on figure 1) during retreat. This readvance was just before Lake Passaic lowered from its highest stage, and may have occurred in part because the deep water in the lake at this time (over 200 feet) buoyed the ice margin, permitting easier movement. Glacial-Lake Deposits--These are stratified and generally well-sorted. They include sand and gravel laid down in deltas and lacustrine fans; and clay, silt, and fine sand laid down on lake-bottom plains and in the basal parts of deltas. Bedding in the deltas includes inclined foreset beds of sand, pebbly sand, and minor pebble-to- cobble gravel, overlain at the surface of some deltas by horizontal topset beds of sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. Lacustrine fans contain gently dipping beds of sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. Bedding in deltas and fans may be deformed locally by collapse, slumping, or shoving by glacial ice. Bedding in lake-bottom deposits is generally horizontal, laminated to thin-bedded, and undeformed. Nongravel sediment is yellowish-brown, light reddish-brown, and light gray. Sand consists chiefly of quartz, feldspar, mica, and fragments of gray and red-brown sandstone and mudstone, gray gneiss, and basalt. Gravel is chiefly white-to-gray gneiss and gray mudstone and sandstone, with some reddish-brown sandstone and conglomerate, white quartz, purple quartzite, and basalt. HOHOKUS DEPOSITS--Deltaic deposits laid down in three lake stages in the ice- dammed headwaters of the Goffle Brook valley. Spillways are across a sandstone escarpment at elevations of about 420 feet (Qho1), 355 feet (Qho2), and 330 feet (Qho3). Drainage from the Qho3 spillway carved the ravine in sandstone along Deep Brook. The portion of the lake in the Paterson quadrangle drained when the Goffle Brook valley in Midland Park was deglaciated. Qho3 Very fine-to-coarse sand, pebbly sand, minor silt and cobbles. As much as 30 feet thick. Qho2 Fine-to-medium sand. As much as 30 feet thick. Qho1 Fine-to-medium sand, some pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 40 feet thick. GLACIAL LAKE PARAMUS DEPOSITS--Deltaic and lake-bottom deposits, undifferentiated, laid down in glacial Lake Paramus. Lake Paramus occupied the Passaic Valley downstream from Hawthorne and was controlled by a spillway at an elevation of about 35 feet across a dam of previously deposited deltaic sediment that blocked the Passaic Valley at Rutherford, about 5 miles south of Paterson. Lake level in the Paterson quadrangle rises northward from about 45 feet in Clifton to 60 feet in the Hawthorne area due to postglacial rebound. Lake Paramus drained when the Musquapsink Brook valley near Westwood, 8 miles northeast of Paterson, was deglaciated, opening eastward drainage into the Hackensack Valley. Unit Qpr includes glaciofluvial deposits in the Diamond Brook and Goffle Brook valleys that grade downstream to deltaic deposits. Qpr Fine-to-medium sand, pebbly sand, minor coarse sand and pebble-to- cobble gravel. Well and boring logs indicate that silt, very fine sand, and clay occur locally in the subsurface. As much as 70 feet thick. SANDY HILL DEPOSITS--Deltaic and lake-bottom deposits, undifferentiated, laid down in two lake stages in the main Passaic Valley. The high stage (Qsh1) was controlled by one or two spillways at between 140-150 feet in elevation across a sandstone upland, draining south into the Weasel Brook valley. The lower stage (Qsh2) was controlled by a spillway at 85-90 feet that drained south into Lake Delawanna. The lower stage lowered to the Lake Paramus level when ice melted off the west slope of the Passaic Valley at Cedar Lawn Cemetery. Qsh2 Fine-to-medium sand and pebbly sand. As much as 40 feet thick. Qsh1 Fine-to-medium sand and pebbly sand, minor silt, clay, and pebble-to- cobble gravel. As much as 60 feet thick. Includes an erosional remnant of a nonglacial delta at Mount Nebo and Laurel Grove cemeteries in Totowa deposited by the Passaic River. GLACIAL LAKE DELAWANNA DEPOSIT--Deltaic deposits laid down in Lake Delawanna. This lake occupied the Passaic Valley and western tributary valleys between Clifton and Belleville, which is about 6 miles south of Clifton. The lake was held in by a sediment dam across the Passaic Valley near Belleville. The lake level in the Paterson quadrangle was about 70 feet. Lake Delawanna lowered to the Lake Paramus level when the Belleville dam was eroded. Qdw Fine-to-medium sand and pebbly sand. As much as 40 feet thick. FRANKLIN LAKES DEPOSITS--Deltaic (Qfl1, Qfl2, Qfl3), lake-bottom and deltaic (Qfl2l) and lacustrine-fan (Qfl2f) deposits laid down in three stages of a glacial lake occupying the Pond Brook valley. The northwest-draining preglacial valley is west of the present Pond Brook and is entirely filled with lacustrine deposits. The highest spillway (Qfl1) is at about 460 feet, along the base of High Mountain, into the Molly Ann Brook valley. The intermediate spillway (Qfl2) is at about 435 feet, through Franklin Clove, a deep gap in Preakness Mountain, into the Preakness Valley. The lowest spillway (Qfl3) is at about 420 feet, across Qfl2 deposits, into the Molly Ann Brook valley. The lake drained into the Ramapo Valley when the Ramapo and Pond Brook valleys at Oakland, about 2 miles northwest of Franklin Lake, were deglaciated. Qfl3 Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 20 feet thick. Qfl2 Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 120 feet thick. Includes deltaic foreset and topset beds laid down in the intermediate lake stage. Qfl2l Very fine-to-fine sand, minor silt and clay. As much as 120 feet thick. Includes deltaic bottomset beds and lake-bottom deposits laid down in the intermediate lake stage. In subsurface only. Inferred from water-well records. Qfl2f Sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 70 feet thick. Includes lacustrine-fan deposits laid down in the intermediate lake stage. In subsurface only. Inferred from water-well records. Qfl1 Fine-to-coarse sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 130 feet thick. Includes possible crevasse-fill deposits forming the ridge east of High Mountain Road. NORTH HALEDON DEPOSIT--Deltaic deposit laid down in a small lake between the ice margin and east slope of Second Watchung Mountain, with a spillway to the south along the ice-walled valley side at an elevation of about 380 feet. Qnh Fine-to-coarse sand, minor pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 30 feet thick. GLACIAL LAKE PASSAIC DEPOSITS--Deltaic, lake-bottom, and lacustrine-fan deposits laid down in two stages of glacial Lake Passaic. Lake Passaic filled the central Passaic River basin between Second Watchung Mountain and the Highlands. The high, or Moggy Hollow, stage (Qpm) was controlled by a spillway at Moggy Hollow near Far Hills, 30 miles southwest of Paterson. Elevation of the lake level at this stage in the Paterson quadrangle was 390 to 410 feet. The lower, or Great Notch, stage (Qpg) was established when the retreating ice front uncovered Great Notch, a gap in First Watchung Mountain just south of the quadrangle boundary. The Great Notch spillway is at an elevation of about 305 feet, and the elevation of the lake level at this stage in the Paterson quadrangle ranges from 305 to about 320 feet. The Great Notch stage lowered to the level of stage 1 of the Sandy Hill lake (see above) when the north end of Garrett Mountain was deglaciated. Discharge from this lowering cut a large channel that forms the valley east of Broad Street in Clifton. For a short time after this lowering, the lacustrine-fan deposit at Laurel Grove Cemetery in Totowa may have dammed the Passaic Valley upstream of that point, holding in a postglacial lake (here named the “Totowa stage”) with a spillway at an elevation of about 190-195 feet. The channel cut into the deposit along Dewey Avenue may be this spillway. Erosion, however, soon breached this dam. Qpm Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor silt and very fine sand. As much as 120 feet thick. Deposited in the Moggy Hollow stage of Lake Passaic. Includes lacustrine-fan, delta, and ice-contact deposits. A readvance till was observed within these deposits at two places in the northern end of the Preakness Valley (indicated by symbols on the map), and is also reported by several water-well logs in the same area. This readvance deformed the underlying sediments and may account for the hummocky, ridged topography of the deposits between Point View Reservoir and Ratzer Road. Qpml Silt, clay, fine sand. As much as 100 feet thick. Deposited on the lake bottom during the Moggy Hollow stage. Readvance till was formerly observed overlying and deforming these deposits at two pits in Totowa (indicated by symbols on the map). Qpg Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor very fine sand, clay, and silt. As much as 100 feet thick. Deposited in the Great Notch stage of Lake Passaic. Includes lacustrine-fan deposits between West Paterson and Haledon, and a delta in the Preakness Valley deposited by meltwater flowing through the gap in Preakness Mountain and eroding the earlier Moggy Hollow-stage deposits. Qpgl Silt, clay, fine sand. As much as 50 feet thick. Deposited on the lake bottom during the Great Notch stage. Qpl Silt, clay, fine sand. As much as 70 feet thick. Lake-bottom deposits undifferentiated as to stage. In northern Preakness Valley only. GLACIAL LAKE VERONA DEPOSITS--Deltaic deposits laid down in Lake Verona. This lake occupied the north-draining Peckman River valley and was controlled by a spillway at an elevation of about 400 feet on the drainage divide at the head of the valley in West Orange, about 5 miles southwest of Little Falls. It lowered slightly to the Moggy Hollow stage of Lake Passaic when the north end of Second Watchung Mountain in Cedar Grove and North Caldwell was deglaciated. Qve Fine-to-coarse sand, minor silt and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 50 feet thick. PRE-ADVANCE STRATIFIED DEPOSITS--Deltaic and lake-bottom deposits, undifferentiated. In subsurface only, beneath late Wisconsinan till. Laid down in proglacial ponds that were dammed, and then overrun, by the advancing ice. Exposed in a ravine in the valley south of High Mountain; elsewhere inferred from water-well records. Qsp Fine-to-coarse sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel, some silt and clay. As much as 40 feet thick. ICE-CONTACT DEPOSITS-- These deposits form hummocky ridges above the level of adjacent lakes or fluvial plains. They may have been deposited in ice-walled basins and ponds or by glacial pushing and deformation of previously deposited sediment. Qic Pebble-to-cobble gravel and sand, locally cobble-to-boulder gravel and sandy, cobbly diamicton; moderately sorted; variably stratified. As much as 100 feet thick. Glacial Stream Deposits--These are stratified and generally well-sorted. They include sand and gravel forming plains and terraces in the Preakness, Molly Ann Brook, and upper Goffle Brook valleys, which were exposed after glacial lakes drained. Color and sand and gravel composition similar to that of glacial-lake deposits. MELTWATER TERRACE DEPOSITS--Glacial-stream deposits forming terraces in the Preakness, Molly Ann Brook, and upper Goffle Brook valleys. Deposits in the Preakness Valley were laid down after draining of the Great Notch stage of Lake Passaic by meltwater discharging through the gap in Preakness Mountain from spillway Qfl2. This meltwater channeled into the Lake Passaic deltas at the head of the valley and deposited the eroded sand and gravel in a plain on the former lake bottom. The downstream part of this plain may be a shallow-water delta deposited in the Totowa stage of Lake Passaic (see above) before the Passaic River completed downcutting through the lacustrine fan in Totowa. The terrace deposit in the Molly Ann Brook valley was laid down after draining of the Great Notch stage of Lake Passaic. The downstream end of this deposit may be a shallow-water delta laid down in the upper stage of the Sandy Hill glacial lake (Qsh1). The terrace deposit in the upper Goffle Brook valley was laid down after draining of stage 3 of Lake Hohokus. Qmt Fine-to-coarse sand, pebbly sand, minor pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 30 feet thick. Till--Poorly sorted, nonstratified sediment deposited directly by glacial ice or by sediment flows from glacial ice. Sediment is matrix-supported and is generally compact below the soil zone due to consolidation by the weight of overlying ice. The matrix may show a coarse subhorizontal platy structure. Four tills are distinguished on the basis of color, grain-size, and age. The late Wisconsinan tills are in gradational contact with each other. Netcong till in places grades downward into Rahway till. Qn NETCONG TILL--Yellow, yellowish-brown, reddish-yellow, very pale brown (oxidized) to grayish- brown and brown (unoxidized) silty sand to sandy silt with many (10-40 percent by volume) subrounded to subangular pebbles and cobbles, and few (less than 5 percent) to some (5-10 percent) boulders. Depth of oxidation ranges from 10 to about 50 feet. Till matrix is generally compact, nonplastic, nonsticky, nonjointed, and may have subhorizontal fissility. As much as 80 feet thick. Gravel is chiefly gray-to-white gneiss and gray mudstone and sandstone, with a little red sandstone and conglomerate, basalt, and purple-to-gray quartzite. Boulders are chiefly gneiss; very few are quartzite, basalt, or gray and red sandstone. Clast composition reflects southerly glacial transport from the Wallkill and Hudson Valleys underlain by Paleozoic sedimentary rock, and from the Hudson Highlands, underlain by Proterozoic gneiss. Qr RAHWAY TILL--Reddish-brown, light reddish-brown, reddish-yellow silty sand to sandy silt containing some to many subrounded and subangular pebbles and cobbles and few subrounded boulders. Matrix is compact, nonsticky, nonplastic to slightly plastic, nonjointed, and may have subhorizontal fissility. Gravel clasts include chiefly red and gray sandstone and siltstone, gray gneiss, and a little white quartz, purple quartzite, and basalt. Boulders are chiefly gneiss; a very few are quartzite, gray and red sandstone, and basalt. As much as 80 feet thick. Unit Qrt delineates areas where Qr is discontinuous and generally less than 20 feet thick. Qry RAHWAY TILL, YELLOW PHASE--Reddish-yellow, yellow, very pale brown silty sand, sandy silt, and silt with some to many subangular and subrounded pebbbles and cobbles and few subrounded boulders. Matrix is compact, nonsticky to slightly sticky, slightly plastic, nonjointed, and may have subhorizontal fissility. Gravel clasts include chiefly gray (weathering reddish-yellow) basalt and gray gneiss, with some gray and red sandstone and siltstone and purple quartzite. Boulders are chiefly gneiss and basalt, with few quartzite and sandstone. As much as 60 feet thick. Unit Qryt delineates areas where Qry is discontinuous and generally less than 20 feet thick. On steep slopes on Preakness Mountain, particularly in the gap just south of Franklin Lake, Qryt includes thin rubbles of angular basalt cobbles and flagstones with little or no till cover. These rubbles were formed by both postglacial mechanical weathering and glacial deformation of finely jointed basalt Qb BERGEN TILL--Reddish-brown to reddish-yellow sandy clayey silt to sandy clay. Gravel content and composition similar to Rahway till. Matrix is compact, moderately sticky and plastic, and weakly jointed. Gneiss, sandstone, and mudstone clasts have weathering rinds or are fully decomposed. As much as 30 feet thick. In subsurface only. Exposed in ravine in the valley on the south side of High Mountain, and likely occurs elsewhere under thick late Wisconsinan till. Of pre-Wisconsinan (possible Illinoian) age. MAP SYMBOLS Contact--Long-dashed where approximately located, short-dashed where gradational or feather-edged, dotted where concealed by fill or water. Drumlin--Line along crest, symbol on summit. Striation--Observation at dot. Solid dot indicates striation measured on bedrock surface. Open dot indicates striation measured on surface of large boulder. On outcrops with multiple striations, older striations are indicated by broken arrow. Meltwater channel--Line in base of channel, arrow indicates flow direction. Dashed where uncertain. Scarp cut by glacial meltwater--Line at top, ticks on slope. Excavation scarp--Line at top of slope, ticks toward excavation. Outlines quarries and former sand and gravel pits.

Surficial deposits in the quadrangle yield ground water to domestic, industrial, and public-supply wells in several areas and affect the movement of water and pollutants from the land surface into lakes, streams, and underlying bedrock and glacial aquifers. Yields and screened intervals for wells tapping glacial deposits are provided in table 1. In the Franklin Lake area, wells draw water from glaciolacustrine sand and gravel (units Qfl1, Qfl2, and Qfl2f), with yields of as much as 400 gallons per minute (gpm). Fine sand and silt in this area (unit Qfl2l) are much less productive, and may locally act as a semi-confining layer. A few wells also draw water from glaciolacustrine sand and gravel (units Qpm and Qpg) in the Preakness Valley. Much of this valley, however, is underlain by fine-grained lake-bottom sediment that is not an aquifer. Glaciolacustrine sand and gravel (unit Qpg) is also tapped by a few wells in the Passaic and Peckman River valleys in Totowa and West Paterson, where the producing beds may be locally confined by overlying silt and clay (unit Qpgl). Elsewhere, sand and gravel deposits are generally too thin to be productive aquifers. Till is not sufficiently thick or permeable to be an aquifer, although a few wells withdraw small quantities of water from either sandy till or sand and gravel beds (unit Qsp) beneath till. Boulder lag--On till surface washed by meltwater, with thin alluvium.

INTRODUCTION

Surficial deposits in the Paterson quadrangle include artificial fill, alluvial, alluvial-fan, swamp, talus, and stream-terrace deposits, all of postglacial age;glaciolacustrine and glaciofluvial deposits of late Wisconsinan age; and till of lateWisconsinan and possible Illinoian age. Postglacial deposits are generally less than30 feet thick. Glaciofluvial sand and gravel deposits are also generally less than 30feet thick. The glaciolacustrine deposits include stratified sand, gravel, silt, and clayand are as much as 180 feet thick. Till is as much as 100 feet thick.

The accompanying map and sections show the surface extent and subsurfacerelations of these deposits. The composition and thickness of the deposits, and theglacial and postglacial events they record, are described in the Description of MapUnits. Well and boring data used to construct bedrock-surface elevation contoursand to infer the subsurface distribution of the deposits are provided in table 1 (inpamphlet). The composition of pebbles in the surficial deposits is shown in table2 (in pamphlet). The chronologic relationships of the deposits are shown in theCorrelation of Map Units. Aquifer properties of the deposits are briefly describedbelow.

AQUIFER PROPERTIES

Hydraulic conductivities of the surficial deposits may be estimated from statewideglacial aquifer-test data on file at the N. J. Geological Survey (Mennel and Canace,2001) and published aquifer-test and laboratory data summarized by Stanford andWitte (in press). Sand and gravel deposits (units Qho1, Qho2, Qho3, Qfl1, Qfl2,Qfl3, Qfl2f, Qpm, Qpg, Qnh, Qpr, Qpt, Qmt, Qve, Qdw, Qsh1, Qsh2, Qic, Qst, Qaf,and parts of Qal and Qsp) are highly permeable, having estimated hydraulicconductivities that range from 10 to 10 feet per day (ft/d). Sandy till and silty sand1 3

till (Qn, parts of Qr and Qry) are also permeable, having estimated hydraulicconductivities from 10 to 10 ft/d. Silt and clay lake-bottom deposits (parts of units-1 2

Qpml, Qpgl, Qpl) are of low permeability, having estimated hydraulic conductivitiesof 10 to 10 ft/d. Fine sand and silt lake-bottom, alluvial, and wetland deposits-5 -3

(Qfl2l and parts of units Qpml, Qpgl, Qpr, Qal, Qsp, and Qs) and sandy silt till (partsof units Qr and Qry) are somewhat more permeable, having estimated hydraulicconductivities of 10 to 10 ft/d. Swamp deposits (Qs) and fill (af) have variable-3 -1

hydraulic conductivities that depend on the clay and silt content of the material.Peats with little mineral soil, and fill composed of sand, cinders, gravel, demolitiondebris, slag, and trash, may be highly permeable.

DESCRIPTION OF MAP UNITS

Postglacial Deposits--These include man-made fill (af), stream deposits in fans(Qaf), terraces (Qpt, Qst), and modern channels and floodplains (Qal), talus (Qta),and wetland deposits in swamps (Qs). They were all deposited since retreat of thelate Wisconsinan glacier about 18,000 yrs B. P. (years before present).

ARTIFICIAL FILL--Artificially emplaced sand, gravel, silt, clay, and rockfragments, and man-made materials including cinders, ash, brick,concrete, wood, slag, asphalt, metal, glass, and trash. Color variable butgenerally dark brown, gray, or black. As much as 60 feet thick butgenerally less than 20 feet thick. Many small areas of fill are not mapped.Some areas of fill are inferred from the extent of swamps and alluvialdeposits shown on manuscript geologic and topographic maps on file atthe N. J. Geological Survey (ca. 1900).

Qal ALLUVIUM--Sand, silt, pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor clay; dark brown,brown, reddish-brown, gray; moderately to well sorted, stratified tomassive. Contains variable amounts of organic matter, demolition debris,and trash. As much as 20 feet thick.

Qaf ALLUVIAL FAN DEPOSITS--Pebble-to-cobble gravel, sand, minor silt;brown to yellowish-brown; moderately sorted, stratified. As much as 20feet thick (estimated).

Qst STREAM TERRACE DEPOSITS--Sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel, minorsilt; brown, yellowish-brown, reddish-brown; moderately to well sorted,stratified. As much as 20 feet thick (estimated). Forms terraces withsurfaces slightly above the modern floodplain along Peckman River andPreakness Brook.

Qpt PASSAIC TERRACE DEPOSIT--Sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel, minorsilt; reddish-brown to yellowish-brown, brown; moderately to well-sorted, stratified. Deposited by the Passaic River after glacial lakesdrained. As much as 30 feet thick.

Qs SWAMP DEPOSITS--Peat and organic silt, clay, and fine sand; black,dark brown, and gray. As much as 40 feet thick (Waksman and others,1943, p. 200), but generally less than 20 feet thick.

Qta TALUS--Angular chips, flagstones, cobbles, and, locally, boulders, ofbasalt, with little or no matrix material. Forms aprons at base of cliffs. Asmuch as 10 feet thick (estimated). Many small talus deposits not mapped.

Qe EOLIAN SAND--Fine sand, yellowish-brown to very pale brown. Formssmall dunes on surface of the Passaic terrace in Totowa and Paterson. Asmuch as 15 feet thick.

Glacial Deposits--These include till and stratified sediments. Till is a poorly sorted,nonstratified sediment containing gravel clasts and boulders, deposited directlyfrom glacial ice (units Qn, Qr, Qry, Qb). The stratified sediments are generally wellsorted. They include sand and gravel laid down by glacial meltwater in river plains(Qmt) and in glacial-lake deltas and fans (Qho1, Qho2, Qho3, Qfl1, Qfl2, Qfl3, Qfl2f,Qpm, Qpg, Qhn, Qpr, Qve, Qdw, Qsp). The stratified sediments also include silt,clay, and fine sand deposited on the bottoms of glacial lakes (Qfl2l, Qpml, Qpgl,Qpl) and moderately to poorly sorted sand and gravel deposited in ice-walledbasins and ponds (Qic). All of these deposits are of late Wisconsinan age exceptQb, which may be of Illinoian age.

The orientation of striations and distribution of till indicates that late Wisconsinanice advanced toward the southwest across the Paterson quadrangle. This ice wason the west side of an advancing lobe channeled between the Palisades Ridge tothe east and the Watchung Mountains to the west (Salisbury, 1902; Stanford andHarper, 1991). During advance the land surface was shaped by glacial erosion.Throughout most of the quadrangle, older glacial deposits and soils were strippedoff and the underlying sandstone and basalt bedrock was eroded into streamlinedforms. Elevation contours of the bedrock surface, plotted at 50-foot interval on themap, show this streamlined topography. Sandstone and shale were locally erodedinto closed-basin troughs beneath the Passaic Valley east of First WatchungMountain, in West Paterson and Totowa, and at the south end of Preakness Valley.Where the ice did not erode deeply, for example, beneath the drumlin in Ridgewood,along the east slope of Preakness Mountain and Second Watchung Mountain, andin scattered locations east of First Watchung Mountain, earlier glacial deposits (Qb,Qsp) are locally preserved beneath till.

Till was deposited discontinuously on the bedrock surface. It is thickest on theeast- and northeast-facing slopes of the Watchung ridges, which faced theadvancing ice, and on sandstone uplands east of First Watchung Mountain, whereit forms drumlins or contributes to the streamlined shape of bedrock ridges. It is thinand patchy on the top and west slopes of the Watchung ridges, where bedrockoutcrop is abundant. The late Wisconsinan till includes three varieties: a yellowish-brown to gray silty sand till (Netcong till, Qn) derived mostly from the gneissbedrock of the Hudson Highlands, just north of the quadrangle, a reddish-brownsilty sand to sandy silt till (Rahway till, Qr) derived from the local red sandstonebedrock, and a yellow to reddish-yellow sandy silt till (Rahway till, yellow phase,Qry) derived from local basalt. Netcong till was deposited chiefly on uplands in thenorthern part of the quadrangle where the base of the glacier had not travelled farin contact with the local bedrock, whereas Rahway till (both Qr and Qry) wasdeposited elsewhere in the quadrangle, where ice had travelled some distance incontact with local bedrock.

Late Wisconsinan ice advanced to its southernmost position at Perth Amboy,about 40 miles south of Paterson. The ice front began to retreat from this positionbefore 20,000 yrs B. P., and had likely retreated north of the Paterson quadrangle by18,000 yrs B. P. (Stanford and Harper, 1991). The retreating ice margin maintaineda lobate form with an apex centered in the broad lowland east of the quadrangle.Recessional ice margins, which are marked by ice-contact glaciolacustrine deposits,trend north-south or slightly northwest-southeast in the Paterson quadrangle (fig.1). The retreating ice margin dammed east- or north-draining valleys, including themain Passaic Valley, to form the glacial lakes in which most of the recessionaldeposits were laid down. Glacial-stream deposits were laid down in three valleysafter lakes drained. Details of the history of glacial lakes and glacial streams areprovided in the following description of map units. Names of the lakes follow thoseof Stone and others (2002).

Till overlying deformed lacustrine deposits was observed in two exposures in thePreakness Valley and was formerly exposed in two clay pits in Totowa. Theseexposures, and westerly striations on Second Watchung Mountain in Totowa thatcut across the earlier southwesterly regional striations, suggest a local readvanceof the ice margin (from M1 to M2 on figure 1) during retreat. This readvance wasjust before Lake Passaic lowered from its highest stage, and may have occurred inpart because the deep water in the lake at this time (over 200 feet) buoyed the icemargin, permitting easier movement.

Glacial-Lake Deposits--These are stratified and generally well-sorted. They includesand and gravel laid down in deltas and lacustrine fans; and clay, silt, and fine sandlaid down on lake-bottom plains and in the basal parts of deltas. Bedding in thedeltas includes inclined foreset beds of sand, pebbly sand, and minor pebble-to-cobble gravel, overlain at the surface of some deltas by horizontal topset beds ofsand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. Lacustrine fans contain gently dipping beds ofsand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. Bedding in deltas and fans may be deformedlocally by collapse, slumping, or shoving by glacial ice. Bedding in lake-bottomdeposits is generally horizontal, laminated to thin-bedded, and undeformed.Nongravel sediment is yellowish-brown, light reddish-brown, and light gray. Sandconsists chiefly of quartz, feldspar, mica, and fragments of gray and red-brownsandstone and mudstone, gray gneiss, and basalt. Gravel is chiefly white-to-graygneiss and gray mudstone and sandstone, with some reddish-brown sandstone andconglomerate, white quartz, purple quartzite, and basalt.

HOHOKUS DEPOSITS--Deltaic deposits laid down in three lake stages in the ice-dammed headwaters of the Goffle Brook valley. Spillways are across a sandstoneescarpment at elevations of about 420 feet (Qho1), 355 feet (Qho2), and 330 feet(Qho3). Drainage from the Qho3 spillway carved the ravine in sandstone alongDeep Brook. The portion of the lake in the Paterson quadrangle drained when theGoffle Brook valley in Midland Park was deglaciated.

Qho3 Very fine-to-coarse sand, pebbly sand, minor silt and cobbles. As muchas 30 feet thick.

Qho2 Fine-to-medium sand. As much as 30 feet thick.

Qho1 Fine-to-medium sand, some pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 40 feetthick.

GLACIAL LAKE PARAMUS DEPOSITS--Deltaic and lake-bottom deposits,undifferentiated, laid down in glacial Lake Paramus. Lake Paramus occupied thePassaic Valley downstream from Hawthorne and was controlled by a spillway at anelevation of about 35 feet across a dam of previously deposited deltaic sedimentthat blocked the Passaic Valley at Rutherford, about 5 miles south of Paterson. Lakelevel in the Paterson quadrangle rises northward from about 45 feet in Clifton to 60feet in the Hawthorne area due to postglacial rebound. Lake Paramus drained whenthe Musquapsink Brook valley near Westwood, 8 miles northeast of Paterson, wasdeglaciated, opening eastward drainage into the Hackensack Valley. Unit Qprincludes glaciofluvial deposits in the Diamond Brook and Goffle Brook valleys thatgrade downstream to deltaic deposits.

Qpr Fine-to-medium sand, pebbly sand, minor coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. Well and boring logs indicate that silt, very fine sand, andclay occur locally in the subsurface. As much as 70 feet thick.

SANDY HILL DEPOSITS--Deltaic and lake-bottom deposits, undifferentiated, laiddown in two lake stages in the main Passaic Valley. The high stage (Qsh1) wascontrolled by one or two spillways at between 140-150 feet in elevation across asandstone upland, draining south into the Weasel Brook valley. The lower stage(Qsh2) was controlled by a spillway at 85-90 feet that drained south into LakeDelawanna. The lower stage lowered to the Lake Paramus level when ice melted offthe west slope of the Passaic Valley at Cedar Lawn Cemetery.

Qsh2 Fine-to-medium sand and pebbly sand. As much as 40 feet thick.

Qsh1 Fine-to-medium sand and pebbly sand, minor silt, clay, and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 60 feet thick. Includes an erosional remnantof a nonglacial delta at Mount Nebo and Laurel Grove cemeteries inTotowa deposited by the Passaic River.

GLACIAL LAKE DELAWANNA DEPOSIT--Deltaic deposits laid down in LakeDelawanna. This lake occupied the Passaic Valley and western tributary valleysbetween Clifton and Belleville, which is about 6 miles south of Clifton. The lake washeld in by a sediment dam across the Passaic Valley near Belleville. The lake levelin the Paterson quadrangle was about 70 feet. Lake Delawanna lowered to the LakeParamus level when the Belleville dam was eroded.

Qdw Fine-to-medium sand and pebbly sand. As much as 40 feet thick.

FRANKLIN LAKES DEPOSITS--Deltaic (Qfl1, Qfl2, Qfl3), lake-bottom and deltaic(Qfl2l) and lacustrine-fan (Qfl2f) deposits laid down in three stages of a glacial lakeoccupying the Pond Brook valley. The northwest-draining preglacial valley is westof the present Pond Brook and is entirely filled with lacustrine deposits. Thehighest spillway (Qfl1) is at about 460 feet, along the base of High Mountain, intothe Molly Ann Brook valley. The intermediate spillway (Qfl2) is at about 435 feet,through Franklin Clove, a deep gap in Preakness Mountain, into the PreaknessValley. The lowest spillway (Qfl3) is at about 420 feet, across Qfl2 deposits, into theMolly Ann Brook valley. The lake drained into the Ramapo Valley when theRamapo and Pond Brook valleys at Oakland, about 2 miles northwest of FranklinLake, were deglaciated.

Qfl3 Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 20 feetthick.

Qfl2 Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 120 feetthick. Includes deltaic foreset and topset beds laid down in theintermediate lake stage.

Qfl2l Very fine-to-fine sand, minor silt and clay. As much as 120 feet thick.Includes deltaic bottomset beds and lake-bottom deposits laid down inthe intermediate lake stage. In subsurface only. Inferred from water-wellrecords.

Qfl2f Sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 70 feet thick. Includeslacustrine-fan deposits laid down in the intermediate lake stage. Insubsurface only. Inferred from water-well records.

Qfl1 Fine-to-coarse sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 130 feet thick.Includes possible crevasse-fill deposits forming the ridge east of HighMountain Road.

NORTH HALEDON DEPOSIT--Deltaic deposit laid down in a small lake betweenthe ice margin and east slope of Second Watchung Mountain, with a spillway to thesouth along the ice-walled valley side at an elevation of about 380 feet.

Qnh Fine-to-coarse sand, minor pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as 30 feetthick.

GLACIAL LAKE PASSAIC DEPOSITS--Deltaic, lake-bottom, and lacustrine-fandeposits laid down in two stages of glacial Lake Passaic. Lake Passaic filled thecentral Passaic River basin between Second Watchung Mountain and theHighlands. The high, or Moggy Hollow, stage (Qpm) was controlled by a spillwayat Moggy Hollow near Far Hills, 30 miles southwest of Paterson. Elevation of thelake level at this stage in the Paterson quadrangle was 390 to 410 feet. The lower,or Great Notch, stage (Qpg) was established when the retreating ice frontuncovered Great Notch, a gap in First Watchung Mountain just south of thequadrangle boundary. The Great Notch spillway is at an elevation of about 305 feet,and the elevation of the lake level at this stage in the Paterson quadrangle rangesfrom 305 to about 320 feet. The Great Notch stage lowered to the level of stage 1 ofthe Sandy Hill lake (see above) when the north end of Garrett Mountain wasdeglaciated. Discharge from this lowering cut a large channel that forms the valleyeast of Broad Street in Clifton. For a short time after this lowering, the lacustrine-fandeposit at Laurel Grove Cemetery in Totowa may have dammed the Passaic Valleyupstream of that point, holding in a postglacial lake (here named the “Totowastage”) with a spillway at an elevation of about 190-195 feet. The channel cut intothe deposit along Dewey Avenue may be this spillway. Erosion, however, soonbreached this dam.

Qpm Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor silt and very finesand. As much as 120 feet thick. Deposited in the Moggy Hollow stageof Lake Passaic. Includes lacustrine-fan, delta, and ice-contact deposits.A readvance till was observed within these deposits at two places in thenorthern end of the Preakness Valley (indicated by symbols on the map),and is also reported by several water-well logs in the same area. Thisreadvance deformed the underlying sediments and may account for thehummocky, ridged topography of the deposits between Point ViewReservoir and Ratzer Road.

Qpml Silt, clay, fine sand. As much as 100 feet thick. Deposited on the lakebottom during the Moggy Hollow stage. Readvance till was formerlyobserved overlying and deforming these deposits at two pits in Totowa(indicated by symbols on the map).

Qpg Fine-to-coarse sand and pebble-to-cobble gravel, minor very fine sand,clay, and silt. As much as 100 feet thick. Deposited in the Great Notchstage of Lake Passaic. Includes lacustrine-fan deposits between WestPaterson and Haledon, and a delta in the Preakness Valley deposited bymeltwater flowing through the gap in Preakness Mountain and erodingthe earlier Moggy Hollow-stage deposits.

Qpgl Silt, clay, fine sand. As much as 50 feet thick. Deposited on the lakebottom during the Great Notch stage.

Qpl Silt, clay, fine sand. As much as 70 feet thick. Lake-bottom depositsundifferentiated as to stage. In northern Preakness Valley only.

GLACIAL LAKE VERONA DEPOSITS--Deltaic deposits laid down in Lake Verona.This lake occupied the north-draining Peckman River valley and was controlled bya spillway at an elevation of about 400 feet on the drainage divide at the head of thevalley in West Orange, about 5 miles southwest of Little Falls. It lowered slightlyto the Moggy Hollow stage of Lake Passaic when the north end of SecondWatchung Mountain in Cedar Grove and North Caldwell was deglaciated.

Qve Fine-to-coarse sand, minor silt and pebble-to-cobble gravel. As much as50 feet thick.

PRE-ADVANCE STRATIFIED DEPOSITS--Deltaic and lake-bottom deposits,undifferentiated. In subsurface only, beneath late Wisconsinan till. Laid down inproglacial ponds that were dammed, and then overrun, by the advancing ice.Exposed in a ravine in the valley south of High Mountain; elsewhere inferred fromwater-well records.

Qsp Fine-to-coarse sand, pebble-to-cobble gravel, some silt and clay. Asmuch as 40 feet thick.

ICE-CONTACT DEPOSITS-- These deposits form hummocky ridges above the levelof adjacent lakes or fluvial plains. They may have been deposited in ice-walledbasins and ponds or by glacial pushing and deformation of previously depositedsediment.

Qic Pebble-to-cobble gravel and sand, locally cobble-to-boulder gravel andsandy, cobbly diamicton; moderately sorted; variably stratified. As muchas 100 feet thick.

Glacial Stream Deposits--These are stratified and generally well-sorted. Theyinclude sand and gravel forming plains and terraces in the Preakness, Molly AnnBrook, and upper Goffle Brook valleys, which were exposed after glacial lakesdrained. Color and sand and gravel composition similar to that of glacial-lakedeposits.

MELTWATER TERRACE DEPOSITS--Glacial-stream deposits forming terraces inthe Preakness, Molly Ann Brook, and upper Goffle Brook valleys. Deposits in thePreakness Valley were laid down after draining of the Great Notch stage of LakePassaic by meltwater discharging through the gap in Preakness Mountain fromspillway Qfl2. This meltwater channeled into the Lake Passaic deltas at the head ofthe valley and deposited the eroded sand and gravel in a plain on the former lakebottom. The downstream part of this plain may be a shallow-water delta depositedin the Totowa stage of Lake Passaic (see above) before the Passaic River completeddowncutting through the lacustrine fan in Totowa. The terrace deposit in the MollyAnn Brook valley was laid down after draining of the Great Notch stage of LakePassaic. The downstream end of this deposit may be a shallow-water delta laiddown in the upper stage of the Sandy Hill glacial lake (Qsh1). The terrace depositin the upper Goffle Brook valley was laid down after draining of stage 3 of LakeHohokus.

Qmt Fine-to-coarse sand, pebbly sand, minor pebble-to-cobble gravel. Asmuch as 30 feet thick.

Till--Poorly sorted, nonstratified sediment deposited directly by glacial ice or bysediment flows from glacial ice. Sediment is matrix-supported and is generallycompact below the soil zone due to consolidation by the weight of overlying ice.The matrix may show a coarse subhorizontal platy structure. Four tills aredistinguished on the basis of color, grain-size, and age. The late Wisconsinan tillsare in gradational contact with each other. Netcong till in places grades downwardinto Rahway till.

Qn NETCONG TILL--Yellow, yellowish-brown, reddish-yellow, very palebrown (oxidized) to grayish- brown and brown (unoxidized) silty sand tosandy silt with many (10-40 percent by volume) subrounded tosubangular pebbles and cobbles, and few (less than 5 percent) to some(5-10 percent) boulders. Depth of oxidation ranges from 10 to about 50feet. Till matrix is generally compact, nonplastic, nonsticky, nonjointed,and may have subhorizontal fissility. As much as 80 feet thick. Gravel ischiefly gray-to-white gneiss and gray mudstone and sandstone, with alittle red sandstone and conglomerate, basalt, and purple-to-grayquartzite. Boulders are chiefly gneiss; very few are quartzite, basalt, orgray and red sandstone. Clast composition reflects southerly glacialtransport from the Wallkill and Hudson Valleys underlain by Paleozoicsedimentary rock, and from the Hudson Highlands, underlain byProterozoic gneiss.

Qr RAHWAY TILL--Reddish-brown, light reddish-brown, reddish-yellowsilty sand to sandy silt containing some to many subrounded andsubangular pebbles and cobbles and few subrounded boulders. Matrixis compact, nonsticky, nonplastic to slightly plastic, nonjointed, and mayhave subhorizontal fissility. Gravel clasts include chiefly red and graysandstone and siltstone, gray gneiss, and a little white quartz, purplequartzite, and basalt. Boulders are chiefly gneiss; a very few arequartzite, gray and red sandstone, and basalt. As much as 80 feet thick.Unit Qrt delineates areas where Qr is discontinuous and generally lessthan 20 feet thick.

Qry RAHWAY TILL, YELLOW PHASE--Reddish-yellow, yellow, very palebrown silty sand, sandy silt, and silt with some to many subangular andsubrounded pebbbles and cobbles and few subrounded boulders. Matrixis compact, nonsticky to slightly sticky, slightly plastic, nonjointed, andmay have subhorizontal fissility. Gravel clasts include chiefly gray(weathering reddish-yellow) basalt and gray gneiss, with some gray andred sandstone and siltstone and purple quartzite. Boulders are chieflygneiss and basalt, with few quartzite and sandstone. As much as 60 feetthick. Unit Qryt delineates areas where Qry is discontinuous andgenerally less than 20 feet thick. On steep slopes on PreaknessMountain, particularly in the gap just south of Franklin Lake, Qrytincludes thin rubbles of angular basalt cobbles and flagstones with littleor no till cover. These rubbles were formed by both postglacialmechanical weathering and glacial deformation of finely jointed basalt

Qb BERGEN TILL--Reddish-brown to reddish-yellow sandy clayey silt tosandy clay. Gravel content and composition similar to Rahway till. Matrixis compact, moderately sticky and plastic, and weakly jointed. Gneiss,sandstone, and mudstone clasts have weathering rinds or are fullydecomposed. As much as 30 feet thick. In subsurface only. Exposed inravine in the valley on the south side of High Mountain, and likelyoccurs elsewhere under thick late Wisconsinan till. Of pre-Wisconsinan(possible Illinoian) age.

Surficial deposits in the quadrangle yield ground water to domestic, industrial, andpublic-supply wells in several areas and affect the movement of water andpollutants from the land surface into lakes, streams, and underlying bedrock andglacial aquifers. Yields and screened intervals for wells tapping glacial deposits areprovided in table 1. In the Franklin Lake area, wells draw water from glaciolacustrinesand and gravel (units Qfl1, Qfl2, and Qfl2f), with yields of as much as 400 gallonsper minute (gpm). Fine sand and silt in this area (unit Qfl2l) are much lessproductive, and may locally act as a semi-confining layer. A few wells also drawwater from glaciolacustrine sand and gravel (units Qpm and Qpg) in the PreaknessValley. Much of this valley, however, is underlain by fine-grained lake-bottomsediment that is not an aquifer. Glaciolacustrine sand and gravel (unit Qpg) is alsotapped by a few wells in the Passaic and Peckman River valleys in Totowa andWest Paterson, where the producing beds may be locally confined by overlying siltand clay (unit Qpgl). Elsewhere, sand and gravel deposits are generally too thin tobe productive aquifers. Till is not sufficiently thick or permeable to be an aquifer,although a few wells withdraw small quantities of water from either sandy till orsand and gravel beds (unit Qsp) beneath till.

Boulder lag--On till surface washed by meltwater, with thin alluvium.

Identifiers of the form 26-xxxx and 23-xxxx are well permit numbers issued by the 1

N. J. Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Water Allocation. Identifiers of the formNxx-xx-xxx are N. J. Atlas Sheet grid coordinates of entries in the N. J. Geological Survey permanentnote collection.

A number without a log is the depth, in feet below land surface, to bedrock reported for wells where2

the surficial material is either not identified or identified only as “overburden” or “glacial fill”. Forwells and borings with logs of the surficial materials, the depth (in feet below land surface) anddriller’s or logger’s description is provided. Inferred map units and comments by author are inparentheses. All descriptions are reproduced as they appear in the original source, except for minorformat, punctuation, and spelling changes. Logs identified as “abbreviated” have been condensedfor brevity. Many bedrock descriptions have been condensed; these are not identified asabbreviated. The notation “NR” indicates “not reported”. For wells completed in surficial materials,the screened interval or length of well casing and yield (in gallons per minute, gpm) are reportedbeneath the log. Map units are inferred from the known extent of materials at the surface and fromknown depositional settings, in addition to the drillers’ descriptions.
