Description

Easton (1943) mapped a small, west-trending nose on the Levias Limestone Member and Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestones mainly in Section 34, T2N, R14W. Control points were provided by four wells, of which two produced oil. The current Beech Creek map, based on dozens of wells not available to Easton, shows a terrace on the east flank of an unnamed syncline in this area (ISGS open files). No anticline exists; therefore, use of the name Bonpas Anticline should be discontinued.
