    1. SW Ohio has no mountians, no nobs; Valley's only.
    2. HERMON B FAGLEY
    3. Cincinnati's called the "City of Seven Hills". We have places named Mt Healthy, Mt Zion,Mt Pleasant, MT HOLLY, Back bone hill;Bald point hill, etc. etc SW ohio was leveled by glaciers. About the area west of RT 41,in Adams Co,Oh. Any hills ,mountians,or nobs were leveled,and we are roughly a tableland. A PLATEAU. But that was so long ago, we have eroded deep valleys along the creeks and Ohio River. The latter is the deepest valley, with,on average the steepest hills, and the southen reaches of creeks emptying into it. Gradually,the valleys of the creeks become shallower,and shallower. Say they had 400 foot valleys vear the river,and 40 foot valley's in their headwaters. And the hillsides go from very steep,to farmable on the headwaters. Oh,the 1850 era poor German immigration farmed,or planted vineyards on very steep slopes along the river. From the same valley,to the same tableland,but a mile apart may be hills [roads] called Short Hill and Gee Hill,etc. Just different routes up the hill. At no place can you view mountians, but from the valley's,you see the steep hills,and from the edge of the tableland, you view a valley. A home advertized having a view,is looking down at a valley,or in the valley,looking at the hillsides. No mountians. No nobs. Roughly, west of Cincinnati-Columbus-Cleveland was covered by glacier. East of that line may be small mountians,or much more rolling land. West is mostly fields in grain; east is mostly pastures,and woods,and strip coal mines,.etc ,etc ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO!
