48 34 From Crawford northward from Pine Ridge one soon comes to the Clay formation with its characteristic erosion figures and Bad Lands. There extends alon g the north face of Pine Ridge for many miles from the Wyoming line in Nebraska . They extend from the base of the Ridge for an average of 6-10 mi. northward. In some places they are very rough, deep and barer. While in others they are little more than patches of outcropping clay which here and there some rock in mixture. In some places the whole region is no more than a mile across from south to north while in others it is several miles. Here and there great knobs or points of clay stand out as isolated points over the generally rolling landscape. Some such points are 100 - 150 ft. in height and absolutely bare of vegetation. there are two quite distinct clays here: one a light green which is least common, and the other a red or flesh colored clay which is much the more common type. The green clay is in some places beneath the red clay. The two contain much rock, quartz and fossils.
