Geologists describe Southeastern Ohio as part of the Allegheny coastal field once lying on a vast plain. Streams cut deep valleys, creating promontories and ridges with a 30 ft per mile dip eastward. The Lower Coal Measures appear above valley bottoms revealing coals, limestones, and sandstones across many counties. The region hosts a large mineral area over 100 square miles, with iron ore once heavily developed and several furnaces. The Ohio River Valley formed a trough eroded to about 1,000 feet, now partly filled to around 400 feet below nearby hills.
