Description

The Bardolph Anticline was mapped on the basis of subsurface data on top of the Kinderhookian Series (basal Mississippian). The southeast limb is steep and has at least 228 feet (70 m) of relief. The northeast flank is less pronounced, and the western extent was not mapped. The Bardolph Anticline has the greatest amplitude of all the Peoria Folds, but little or no closure.
