Excerpt from Surface Geology of the Northern Peninsula of Michigan: With Notes on Agricultural Conditions and Water Power Publication of this report and the accompanying map was made possible through the courtesy and generosity of the Director of the U. S. Geological Survey who, at my request, granted to the Michigan Geological Survey, free of charge, the services of Prof. Frank Leverett during the time he was engaged in preparing this manuscript. The publication makes a timely appearance, especially in View of the recently quickened interest in the agricultural development of the Northern Peninsula. This movement has found expression in the organization of the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau organized late in 1910. This organization embraces in its member ship many hundreds of Upper Peninsula citizens and has for its purpose the advertising of the latent resources of the peninsula, particularly the agricultural resources, and the dissemination of useful and reliable information regarding them among the citi zens of Michigan and other states.
