Description

A small anticline trending northeast and having about 20 feet (6 m) of closure was mapped on the "upper Bogota" limestone (Newton 1941). Correlation of this limestone is questionable and its value as a structural datum is dubious. DuBois' (1951) maps, contoured on several Pennsylvanian units, indicate only gentle structural irregularity in this area. The current Beech Creek ("Barlow") Limestone map of the area (ISGS open files) indicates that the Trowbridge Anticline lies near the low point of a saddle between two synclines. Use of the name should therefore be discontinued.
