Excerpt from Geology of the Golconda Quadrangle: A Detailed Report on the Stratigraphy and Structure of That Portion of the Golconda Quadrangle Lying in Kentucky A second escarpment may be named from the village of J oy which is situated near its northern extremity. This escarp ment is not'so straight as the Carrsville, being convexly curved to the east between Joy and Hampton. West of Hampton it is transected byone of the branches of Bayou Creek, both the north and south walls of this valley being continuations of the Joy escarpment. South of this valley the direction of the escarpment is almost north and south and extends nearly to the southern boundary of the Golconda quadrangle. This escarpment is formed by the resistant Hardinsburg sandstone, underlain by the more or less shaly Golconda limestone of the Middle Chester. Both of these formations have a gentle dip to the west throughout most of their extent in this portion of the area, and northwest from the crest of the escarpment is a rather broad cuesta slope underlain by the Hardinsburg sand stone. Between the Joy and Carrsville escarpment there is a much less conspicuous topographic feature of similar character, formed by the Tar Springs sandstone underlain by the Glen Dean limestone, but the fault block whose eastern face is formed by this escarpment is so narrow that the Tar Springs cuesta slope is inconspicuous.
