Description

Blatchley (1914) and Kay (1915) defined the Sorento Dome as an enclosed structural high mapped on the basis of scattered coal test drilling. Using additional control points, Bell (1926c) remapped the area and divided the Sorento Dome into the New Douglas Dome on the west and the Panama Dome on the east. In a further update, Bell (1941) discarded the New Douglas Dome and retained the Panama Dome. Maps of this area by Bristol and Howard (1976), Stevenson et al. (1981), and the current structure map of the Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone (ISGS open files) do not indicate any structural high worthy of naming. Accordingly, the name Sorento Dome is discarded.
