Geologically, Chestnut Ridge is a doubly plunging anticline. The bedrock along the axis is the Devonian Onondaga Formation and Old Port Formation, consisting primarily of sandstone.〔Berg, T.M., Edmunds, W.E., Geyer, A.R. and others, compilers, (1980). Geologic Map of Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania Geologic Survey, Map 1, scale 1:250,000.〕 The crest of the hill is at approximately elevation. The New Enterprise Stone & Lime Co., Inc. New Paris Quarry (inactive) is located on the northwest flank of the ridge. Early Devonian Limestone of the fossiliferous Keyser Formation is quarried there.
