CHAPIER X. 
THE MONTEVALLO BASIN. 
The MontevaJlo Basin is situated to the northwest of 
Montevallo, and to the southeast of Gurnee. Itis bounded 
on the north by the Lolley Basin, on the east by the great 
boundary fault that separates the Carboniferous from the 
Cambrian measures, on the southeast by the Overturned 
measures and the fault separating them from the Montevallo 
Basin, on the southwest and west by the Dailey Creek Ba- 
sin, and on the north by the Lolley Basin. 
The following is an outline of the boundary of the Mon- 
tevallo Basin: Commencing at a point three hundred yards 
southeast of the Baker Mine entrance, at that part of the 
boundary fault where the fault immediately north of the 
“Over-turned measures” intersects it, thence south twenty- 
two degrees west, along the fault between the Over-turned 
measures and the Montevallo Basin a distance of one and 
three-quarter miles, to a point where that fault intersects 
Little Mayberry Creek ; thence ina northwestwardly direc- 
tion along the anticlinal, crossing Walker’s Camp Branch, 
Jim’s Branch, and Big Mayberry Creek, to the northwest 
corner of section 15, township 22, range 4 west; thence due 
north along the section line on the west side of sections 10 
and 3, to the southwest corner of section 34, township 21, 
range 4 west; thence due northeast to the northeast corner 
of said section 34; thence southeastwardly up Jesse’s creek 
to the southeast corner of section 35, township 21, range 4 
west; thence nearly due east along the anticlinal between 
the Lolley Basin and the Montevallo Basin to nearly oppo- 
site Dogwood Grove Church at the east edge of the boun- 
dary fault, leaving the Davis Creek Falls to your right and 
the Ed. Davis’ house to your left, to a point about three 
hundred yards southeast of Baker Mine, the point of com- 
mencement.
