Description

The Holland Anticline was mapped as being about 3 miles (5 km) long, trending east-northeast, and having a closure of 10 to 20 feet (3-6 m) on the "upper Bogota" limestone. The structure was defined by a single control point; moreover, Newton's (1941) correlations are questionable. Newer maps based on more and better data (Du Bois 1951) show that the area is situated on the northeastern nose of the Louden Anticline and is not a separate structure; therefore, use of the name should be discontinued.
