horst (structure)
A horst is by definition a structure uplifted along faults, so there is no need to define "positive". What I think they are saying here is that the trachytes were initially uplifted by a horst movement, traces of which can still be seen today (in the dome shape)

positive horst structure
Some oblique structures suggest a subsidiary strike-slip array. Shallow subsurface structure in Eocene strata mapped from coal exploration logs across the central portion of the SRFZ in Cleveland County, AR suggest a restraining-bend anticline/horst near the site of a moderate 1911 earthquake and the young river-bank anticline. This positive structure strikes NE, at a high angle to the SRFZ strike

"It’s appeared that there is high-angle reverse fault in the north of
the Takenoyu Fault by geologic correlation of the wells. A
pair of these faults forms a local horst structure. These faults
form a nearly vertical zone of high permeability with several
hundreds meters wide as the geothermal reservoir."
