An outline of the geological formations of the Udelnaya steppe of the Stavropol province
Abstract
In the summer of 1908, I was sent by the head of the Stavropol Land Management Party to the area of the Stavropol Udelnaya Steppe and its surrounding heights to collect material on the geological composition of the area and to possibly clarify its tectonics. The ultimate goal of these studies was to determine the feasibility of extracting water in the Udelnaya Steppe through artesian drilling. In the attached outline, a detailed description of the outcrops is omitted and only their essential features are noted. On the map and cross-section, different numbers indicate the outcrop numbers and conventional symbols show the geological horizons. The Udelnaya steppe is located near the border of the Stavropol province and the Kuban region, south of the city of Stavropol.
