East Gulf Coastal Plain Cross-section

This diagram shows a cross-section of the topographic profile of the East Gulf Coastal Plain Physiographic Section from Montgomery through Andalusia to the Florida border. The vertical scale and dips are exaggerated for ease of viewing. The solid and broken black lines show the approximate orientation of the underlying sloping rock beds, called cuestas.
