Oil and Gas Possibilities in the Belton Area (Classic Reprint), Wilson Malcolm E.

This report, which deals with an area of approximately 71 square miles located in Cass and Jackson counties, shows a number of low structures worthy of further prospecting. It is issued in advance of the complete report in order that the data may be available at once as much attention has been directed to this particular territory during the past few months.

The mapping has not been extended to the limits of strue tural conditions. The area lies in the direct line of strike, northeast from the shallow pools of Kansas and no doubt careful mapping wilf show similar structures along the strike line. As shown on the map a number of small oil and gas wells have been drilled at various points upon the structures, although most of the area is as yet undrilled. Possible variable sand conditions and the presence of faulting and intense folding over a part of the area inject an element of uncertainty as to results.
