Description

Harrison (1951) defined the Mink Island Fault on the basis of limited borehole data for White County. Using more control points, Bristol and Treworgy (1979) remapped the Wabash Valley Fault System. On their map the Mink Island Fault loses its identity as part of the New Harmony Fault Zone; thus, use of the name Mink Island should be discontinued.
