Description

The Burton Anticline, as mapped by Easton (1942), was a slight northeastward nosing of structural contours on the Herrin Coal Member. Remapping of the area (Nelson 1987b) confirms the general validity of Easton's contouring; however, the structure is not expressed on deeper units and is too insignificant to merit naming; therefore, its use should be discontinued.
