Description

Moulton (1926b, p. 3) described the Sparta Syncline as a "pronounced syncline" that extends from the vicinity of Sparta northeastward at least as far as Coulterville. His structure contour map indicated a sinuous irregular trough in the area. The structure is so poorly defined that naming it is not justified. Newer mapping in the area does not indicate a syncline where Moulton showed the Sparta Syncline.
