Deep‐seated solution in the Meade basin and vicinity, Kansas and Oklahoma

During the closing years of the 19th century, Haworth [see 1 and 2 of “References” at end of paper] and Johnson [3] noted the abundant depressions resembling sink‐holes in the Southern High Plains, especially in Meade and Clark counties, Kansas, and Beaver County, Oklahoma. Johnson was of the opinion that all the depressions and basins in this region were due to solution, whereas Haworth [1] believed the Meade artesian basin to be structural, although he held to a solutional origin for the Ashland and Englewood basins, which are a few miles to the east. ©1942.
