Description

Mylius applied the name Bellair-Champaign Uplift to a narrow, triangular uplift that he mapped in east-central Illinois. Subsequent geologists greatly refined the subsurface structural mapping that revealed a complex pattern of anticlines, domes and synclines along the central part of the La Salle Anticlinorium. Thus, the name Bellair-Champaign Uplift has outlived its usefulness and should be discontinued.
