Shale, overlain by quartzitic and cherty gravel, is exposed along
the creek near the main spring, and sedimentary rocks apparently
form the hills near by.
CARBONATED SPRING NEAR LITTLE SULPHUR CREEK (SONOMA 7).
A small carbonated spring issues at the side of a gully near Little
Sulphur Creek, on the Nelson & Olsen ranch, 3 miles east of Geyser-
ville. It has been used only as a local drinking spring, has not been
improved, and is not specially noteworthy.
ALDER GLEN SPRINGS (SONOMA 2).
Alder Glen Springs form a resort in a small canyon 3 miles north-
west of Cloverdale. In 1909 a two-story frame hotel, annex, and
several cottages and tents furnished accommodations for about 75
guests, and a pavilion and hall were also provided. On the southern
side of the stream channel the face of the bank has been cemented
around four basins a yard apart that discharge into a common over-
flow channel. The springs differ somewhat in taste, but all are car-
bonated and are also faintly sulphureted. Small amounts of iron are
deposited in the basins and along the overflow channel.
