Description

Outcrop and well data on the Colchester Coal Member were used to define the Haw Creek Dome (Poor 1927). The dome, as Poor mapped it, covers an area of roughly 5 square miles (13 km2) and has closure of 30 to 40 feet (9-12 m). It lies along the crest of a southeast-plunging anticline that has a steep northeast limb. The anticlinal nose is shown, but no closure is indicated on Bristol and Buschbach's (1973) map of structure on top of the Galena Group.
