Abstract
The Englevale Sandstone is a river channel type of sandstone of Pennsylvanian age cropping out in eastern Bourbon and northern Crawford counties in southeastern Kansas and in western Vernon County, Missouri (Fig. 1). The saandstone was first named, described and interpreted to be a river channel sandstone by Pierce and Courtier (1935, p. 1061; 1937 p. 45) while mapping the geology and coal resources of the southeastern Kansas coal field in Crawford, Cherokee, and Labette counties. Mapping the Englevale Sandstone by Pierce and Courtier was confined to a narrow linear area extending northward from Arma in Crawford County to a point about 9 miles distant towards Cato, also in northeastern Crawford County. In 1955, while mapping coal (Mulky or Fort Scott coal) in Bourbon and Crawford counties, Schoewe (1959) discovered and mapped a similar channel sandstone. This sandstone extends from the northeast corner of Bourbon County southwestward for a distance of approximately 25 miles to the northernmost Englevale deposit mapped by Pierce and Courtier in Crawford County near the Bourbon-Crawford County line. The Bourbon County channel sandstone is definitely to be correlated with the Crawford County sandstone deposit.
