This morning I pulled some old soil surveys to look for pre-Holocene surfaces on the Coastal Plain of SC that do not harbor Carolina Bays, or upon which they are exceedingly rare. I found such areas to be extensive; the lower (seaward) half of Dorchester County, most of Georgetown County, etc. Other areas (such as the lower portion of Marion County, for example) that presumably are of the same geologic age, have bays that are well expressed. This gave me an idea. I don't know exactly how I'll do it, or how long it will take, but I think I'll construct a map of the CP of SC that shows those surfaces, with a data overlay showing the geologic formations and their ages. I think it would be revealing.

I want to make sure I'm following you: You found areas where you would NOT expect to find bays basically bayless, but other areas of the same geologic age with bays? Vedy interestink(if I'm following)!

I think it would be revealing.

Can you post that this evening.......heh,heh. Seriously, I would love to see what you're able to come up with. I'm a novice graphic artiste so if I can be of assistance, please let me know. This is actually exciting............ahem.
