Description

Willman and Payne (1942) defined the Depue Anticline based on subsurface mapping of various Cambrian and Ordovician horizons, which indicated a southeast-trending anticlinal nose having maximum relief of roughly 150 feet (46 m). Willman and Payne's well control was extremely sparse, and the existence of an anticline in this location was not confirmed by subsequent studies (Kolata et al. 1983). The use of the name should be discontinued.
