About this product
Product Information
Excerpt from Staten Island: A Guide Book, With Illustrations and a Road Map Topography and Geology. - The topography of Staten Island is very diversified, consisting of hills, level farming land, salt marshes and beach. In shape it is an irregular triangle comprising 581/2 square miles. Its greatest length, northeast and southwest, is 13 miles; its greatest breadth, 8 miles. The entire southeastern shore has suffered an enormous wear, due to the abrading action of the waves coupled with the gradual depression of the coast. Where Elm Tree light-house now stands - then the foot of New Dorp lane, but now beyond the end of a dock extending 400 feet out into the water - there grew, in 1840, a large American elm. This indicates an average encroachment of the sea of 10 feet a year. There has been a loss of about 350 feet since 1850 at Cedar Grove, one-half mile south of Elm Tree light-house, and at Prince's Bay and the forts on the Narrows the government has been obliged to build sea-walls for the protection of its property. There are two ranges of hills. The first, beginning at New Brighton, where it is 310 feet high, sweeps inland behind Tompkinsville and Stapleton, reaching the shore at the Narrows at Clifton. The second ridge begins in the rear of West New Brighton and extends to the south nearly reaching New Dorp, when it veers to the westward to the Fresh Kill. Its greatest elevation, 370 feet, is Toad or Todt Hill, which is the highest point of the Island. Other prominent elevations on this ridge are Richmond and La Tourette's hills. The general topography of the Island, its shape, boundaries and location are so well shown on the map that detailed references to these matters is unnecessary. Geology. - The geology of Staten Island is very diversified for so small an area. We find within its limits strata of the Archaean, Triassic, Cretaceous, Quaternary and Modern eras.
