Abstract

Aerial photographs of an area in the western coastal plain of Formosa showed the superposition of a radial drainage pattern on the normal dendritic drainage developed on the gently west-dipping regional slope. Comparison with topographic maps of the area confirmed the existence of a small north-south-trending topographic high, and available geophysical data showed that the photogeologic anomaly is located at the south end of a buried anticlinal structure. Recent and perhaps continuing deformation is probably responsible for the doming and diversion of drainage.
