Nathaniel True wrote in the Bethel Citizen (before 1861): "The only vein of trap [basalt] I have seen in town is about a mile west of the village, on Sanborn's hill. It is broken up in columnar fragments, the adjacent rock being wanting on one side so that it forms a wall. It contains augite and glassy feldspar."
