The lineaments with discernable surface expressions are relatively small features. These features can be best seen on low altitude (large scale) imagery or on large scale (about 1:24000) topographic maps. Lineaments of this size have been positively correlated with EGSP well productivity in both the Cottageville (Jones and Ranch 1978-1) and the Big Sandy (Howard) Fields. There is little consistency in selection of lineaments from small scale imagery. In several areas above the Cottageville gas field water was found flowing from fracture zones that correlated with small lineaments expressed by drainage. One spring was found on the surface above the Brown Shale Zone II in the deviated well in alignment with a drainage lineament. Additional detailed studies of surface features including lineaments found on 1:2400 topographic maps and their correlation with productivity in the Cottageville Field Area is suggested. 21 figures.
