Description

As contoured on the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian), the Vergennes Anticline is about 3 miles (5 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide. Its axis strikes west-northwest and is about 0.5 miles (0.8 km) south of and parallel with the master fault of the Cottage Grove Fault System. Maximum closure is about 100 feet (30 m). Oil is produced from Devonian limestone in the Vergennes field on this anticline.
