Chickies Ridge
Chickies Ridge is a long ridge in West Hempfield Township, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, terminating at the west end in an outcropping overlooking the Susquehanna River, known as Chickies Rock.
==Geology==
Part of an eastward extension of the Hellam Hills, Chickies Ridge has been separated from them by a water gap cut by the Susquehanna. The ridge is composed of uplifted Cambrian Chickies Formation,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Pennsylvania Trail of Geology: Samuel S. Lewis State Park )〕 which extends several miles east before merging into the surrounding uplands. Chickies Rock, at the west end overlooking the river, is the largest exposed anticline on the East Coast.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Chickies Rock )〕 According to the USGS, the summit of the ridge is 587 feet (179 m) above sea level.
Chickies Creek runs along the north side of the ridge towards the western end, while Jones Run runs along the south side towards the western end.
