Bell County is partly within the Gulf Coastal Plain and is crossed by the Balcones zone of faulting. West of this fault zone, the surface formations are those of the Comanche Cretaceous, while to the east of the fault zone, the formations are largely those of the Gulf series or Upper Cretaceous. In addition to the Cretaceous formations, limited areas of the county are occupied by Pleistocene and Recent stream and terrace deposits, including gravel, sand, and clay. The soils of the county are residual from these various formations.
These circulars issued from the Bureau of Economic Geology contain the record of cores and cuttings from well received and described in the Bureau. In some instances, driller's logs and other data are given, although it is usually impracticable to include logs of all wells, the logs given being selected as representative of the county or area to which the circular relates. The elevations given are for the most part those reported with the driller's log. In some instances the elevation given, as indicated, is that obtained from the location of the well on the topographic map.
