Description

Lee (1915) inferred a dome from scattered well data. Easton's (1942) map showed no closure and so the feature should not have been called a dome. Remapping with new control points shows no structural high in the area (Nelson 1987b). The name Spanish Needle Creek Dome should be discarded.
