Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geography of Illinois The present volume is the first in a series inaugurated by the University of Chicago Press to fill a long-felt need. The plan adopted is to provide an authoritative geographic study of a state or other limited region, presenting in compact form the wide range of physical influences which make up the geographic environment in which men live. And further, attempting to show the ways in which human life in the region is shaped by these physical influences. It is with this point of View, and with this purpose in mind, that Professor Ridgley has undertaken the study of Illinois. The aim is to present the geography of the state in such a way as to be of interest and value to the general reader, as well as to furnish teachers and schools with an ample text for reference or class use. It cannot be hoped that the point of View, choice of materials presented, or method of presentation will please everyone, but critical comment will be welcomed by the author and by the editor as aids in furthering the service of the series.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Geography of Illinois The old land of this so-called pre-Cambrian time extended from northern Minnesota to Norway and Scotland. South of this land lay large islands in what is now northern Wisconsin, and in the Adirondack region; a long ridge of land extended down the eastern edge of the present Appalachian Mountains; there was also a small island in southeastern Missouri, and perhaps one in the southern part of Illinois. (Fig. 5.) Illinois at that time lay at the bottom of the shallow sea extending between Isle Wisconsin and the Missouri isle, and was continually receiving detritus which later formed limestones. Near the land broad zones of sand were being worked over by waves and undertow, forming beds of future sandstones which dipped off toward the deeper sea. These sandstones are now great reservoirs, bringing the rain water from Wisconsin and Missouri down the dip to Illinois, and making possible our artesian wells. Although this sea was being filled all the time, yet it was many millions of years before there was dry land within the limits of the state. After many ages the sea had been filled up and it is only a little more than a thousand feet above sea level. (Fig. 4.) This flatness is one of the state's largest resources, for being mantled with the richest of soils, agriculture is carried 011 in the largest measure and the building of railways and common roads is greatly facilitated. Because of these conditions Illinois ranks first in the value of farm land, and stands second, and only slightly behind Iowa, in the total value of farm products. Illinois ranks first in the production of corn and oats, and lies at the very center of the agricultural activity of the whole country. (Dodge Figs. 259. 260. 262, and 263 ) The Geological Story.
