Description

The name was applied to a subtle anticlinal nose extending about 6 miles (9.6 km) east-southeast from Belleville, as mapped on the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian). Newer maps of deeper units, as interpreted from more control points, fail to reveal any structural high in this area. Use of the name Belleville Anticline should be discontinued.
