Description

A map of the structure of the Herrin Coal Member (Pennsylvanian) by Cady et al. (1938) shows an east-trending anticlinal nose running through the villages of Woodlawn and Drivers. Their interpretation apparently was based on a single control point. The structure map of the Herrin Coal by Keys and Nelson (1980) covers the same area, uses many more subsurface data points, and shows no anticline. The eastern branch of the Du Quoin Monocline runs through this area.
