> characteristics, and geological hazards associated with the bedrock
> units. The map legend describes the geologic formations and shows
> their geologic age. A statewide geologic cross section provides a
> three-dimensional perspective of the geologic framework of Ohio.
> Copies of the/ Bedrock Geologic Map of Ohio/ are available for $15
