Hope and ‘The Gates’ are plotted on the map accompanying this report;
they have been taken from a manuscript map complied by M. Y. Williams
and J. B. Bocock and included by them with manuscript reports of the
Survey of Resources, Pacific Great Eastern Railway Lands.

In 1921 and 1922, Spieker described the Moberly Lake anticline near
the west end of Moberly Lake, with dips of about 9 degrees on the east limb
and about 5 degrees on the west limb. He suggested that it is continuous
with a low anticline on Wartenbe (Table) Mountain. In an unpublished
report, Williams and Bocock (1930) have stated that the Moberly Lake
anticline extends northwest by north and that it has dips of 33 to 8 degrees
on the southwest limb and 23 to 10 degrees on the northeast limb. Spieker
described a broad, low structure on the west slope of Wartenbe (Table)
Mountain, to which he gave the name of Table Mountain anticline. He
considered it to be continuous with the Moberly Lake anticline. Williams
and Bocock (1930), however, have suggested that this structure passes
through hills near the east end of Moberly Lake. Later, Williams (1939),
Stelck (1941), and others have proposed that faulting rather than folding
is the principal feature of the Wartenbe (Table) Mountain structure.

Williams (1939) and Stelck (1941) record faulting near the Little
Prairie settlement.

Williams and Bocock (1930) have described the Graveyard anticline,
whose axis extends northwesterly across Graveyard Creek, between Moberly
Lake and Pine River. It is a wide, low, and as yet not well understood
structure. A low, northeast dip (about 1 degree) was observed near the
mouth of Stewart River, and a southwest dip of about 3 to 8 degrees on
the southwest limb.

Dresser (1921) and Spieker (1921, 1922) have described the Hudson
Hope anticline. It is said to be a small fold, with dips of about 2 degrees
near the axis. About 13 miles west of the axis, however, is a structural
terrace, which is said to have a maximum southwest dip of about 15 degrees.
It is claimed to be continuous with a structure on the west fork of Maurice
ce ars (1939) has recorded some thrust faulting on the south-
west limb.

Dresser (1921) refers to a “‘sharp” fold on Lynx Creek, with a south-
westerly dip of 45 degrees on one limb. In an unpublished report, Williams
and Bocock (1930) observe that the Gates anticline, at ‘The Gates’ on
Peace River, has a dip of about 1 degree on the northeast limb and 2 to 3
degrees on the southwest limb.

Far to the east, on Pouce Coupé River, Crickmay (1944) records a
gentle southeasterly dip, and just over the border, in Alberta, he has des-
cribed an interesting, probably a domed, structure.

FARRELL CREEK

Dresser (1921, 1922) has described an anticline on Farrell Creek (Red
River), north of Chinaman Lake and northwest of Hudson Hope. In the
1921 report, a broad anticline, with its axis crossing near where the trail
from Hudson Hope passes through Farrell Creek, was inferred from the
attitude of exposed strata. In the 1922 report, this was thought to be a
dome-like structure, from the elevations of a bed of conglomerate pene-
trated in several bore-holes drilled in 1921.
