Description
The axis of the Bay Creek Syncline is approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of the McCormick Anticline and strikes northeast, parallel with it. The northwest limb of the syncline exhibits a variable dip of 5° to more than 10°. The southeast flank of the trough is gentle; essentially this flank represents regional dip of the strata slightly west of north at 3° or less. The Bay Creek Syncline dies out gradually at both ends.
