Examination of over 500 logs composed of gamma-ray, bulk-density, and porosity graphs that penetrated the Mississippian platform carbonate unit known as the Monteagle Limestone (oolitic) in the subsurface of Morgan County, Tennessee (Twin Bridges and Pilot Mountain Quadrangles), enabled recognition of laterally discontinuous porous zones that formed at eight different stratigraphic levels within the Monteagle. Seven panel diagrams per quadrangle (a total of 14 panels) were prepared to ascertain the three-dimensional geometry, facies relationships, and distribution of porous zones of subsurface stratigraphic units in the Mississippian System. These panels may be considered as substitutes for seismic traverses.
