摘要

The New Madrid seismic zone had at least three M >7 earthquakes during the winter of 1811–1812, but its faults are poorly mapped. Interpretation of 140, 91.4 m (300 ft) deep well logs west of New Madrid, Missouri, reveals a 9.7 km by 6.4 km subsurface high with 30 m of relief on Pleistocene-age Mississippi River gravels. Seismic soundings also reveal an average of 55 m of relief on the PaleoceneWilcox Group, 56 m on the top of the Cretaceous, and 83 m on the top of the Paleozoic section. We interpret this as predominantly structural uplift, herein called the Lilbourn uplift. The uplift appears to be a northwestern extension of the Reelfoot North fault and its hanging wall deformation (the Tiptonville dome).
