Description

Mapped from dozens of coal test drill holes, the Kuykendall Anticline lies between the Rough Creek-Shawneetown Fault System and the sinuous axis of the Eagle Valley Syncline (fig. 34). The axis of the Kuykendall Anticline curves from the east to the northeast and is a little more than 2 miles (3 km) long. Closure of more than 100 feet (30 m) is mapped on the Springfield Coal Member (Pennsylvanian).
