The fall line is an East Coast geological feature that marks the boundary between the Piedmont and the coastal plain. A true fall line prevented navigation upstream. Earley seeks to answer the questions of what a fall line in North Carolina is exactly and where it is.

Abstract:

Instead of locating vast fields of oil for exploitation, two failed test holes drilled by the Esso Oil Company, one at 987 feet and the other 2,40 feet, yielded information relative to the geologic history of North Carolina. Further inquiries made by the Carolina Petroleum Company, between 1946 and 1947, also failed to locate fossil fuels but provided valuable information regarding the composition of the basement rocks within the state.

Abstract:

A new state geologic map has been published by the North Carolina Geological Survey. The first since 1958, the new map is more detailed, extensive, and useful in the field. This article discusses the field-discernible geology depicted on the map, and how it was developed over twenty-one months.
