Description

Easton (1943) gave the name Redhead Anticline to a west-trending nose that was mapped, on the basis of a few well records, on the Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone and the Levias Limestone Member of the Renault Limestone (Mississippian). Current structure maps of the area, contoured on the Mississippian Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone and Karnak Limestone Member (ISGS open files), show no indication of the anticline mapped by Easton. These newer maps were based on dozens of control points that were not available to Easton. Use of the name Redhead Anticline should be discontinued.
