Description

The Chesterville Anticline is represented by a modest westward nosing of contour lines on the west flank of the Tuscola Anticline (La Salle Anticlinorium). It is fairly prominent on Clegg's (1959) map of the subsurface structure of the Danville Coal Member (Pennsylvanian), but barely discernible on his maps of older coals.

Like the Bourbon Anticline, the Chesterville may be chiefly a product of differential compaction. It does not meet the definition of an anticline and therefore, the use of the name Chesterville Anticline should be discontinued.
