Fork River in Boston, the South Fork of the Licking River at Cynthiana, and
             the Licking River at Blue Licks Spring and Falmouth. It brought the most
             serious flooding in Ohio along Brush Creek and the Scioto and Great Miami
             River, at the highest main stem levels for more than 30 years in Ohio
             The Ordovician System of Ohio is of interest to geologists for
             being the most famous of the state's Paleozoic rock systems (Hansen 2003).
             The alternating shales and limestones in the upper part of the system
             consist of an incredible variety and abundance of well-preserved fossils.
             These fossils, in turn, define life of this geologic period, and the rocks
             of the region, the Cincinnati Series, serve as the North American Upper
             Ordovician standard (Hansen). These Ordovician rocks in the subsurface in
             Northwestern Ohio also became the source of the first giant oil and gas
             Ohio's Ordovician rocks today do not have much economic appeal in
             comparison to those other geological systems in the state, although in the
             last century, some lime stones of the Upper Ordovician variety in
             Southwestern Ohio were quarried for building stone and related uses. Lime
             stones of the Point Pleasant Formation were quarried in many areas,
             including Cincinnati and Point Pleasant, where they were exposed along the
             Ohio River, and were known to quarrymen as "River Quarry Beds." The
             Trenton Lime Stone was once the most important oil-bearing unit in the
             entire country and the first giant oil field discovered in the Continent.
             After commercial quantities of oil and gas were discovered in 1884 in
             northwestern Ohio in 1884, vigorous drilling followed in a 185-mile-long
             area stretching from Toledo to Indianapolis. This l
