Description

Easton's (1942) basis for defining this feature is unknown because he shows no control points near it on his contour map. The area has been remapped using several dozen borehole records that were not available to Easton (Nelson 1987b). These data indicate a structural depression where Easton showed an anticline; therefore, use of the name Lowder Anticline should be discontinued.
