In other parts of the County, wherethe limestone conglomerate is not so preponderant, or where it liesdeeper and is mostly unexposed, the surface soil is deeper, oftenconsisting of 18 inches of loam. The land is locally termed "limestoneland. " Near Catoctin Mountain the rocks seem to have weathered toconsiderable depth, there being no exposures or outcrops. Here thesoil has been washed away from some of the more elevated small areas, and the heavy red clay subsoil is exposed. In a great many p...laces along the base of the mountain the formation ofthis type is somewhat complicated by the wash from the mountain, whichconsists principally of subangular quartz fragments, from 1 to 4inches in diameter. This rock sometimes forms as much as 30 or 40 percent of the soil mass. This phase is called "gravelly land, " and ishard to cultivate on account of its heavy texture and stony condition, although it is inherently productive. This type occurs in one irregular-shaped area, about 15 miles long, varying from less than 1 mile to 3 or 4 miles in width, being cut bythe Potomac River just east of Point of Rocks, Md.
