About This Publication
This geologic map of the east part of the Cleburne 30 × 60 minute quadrangle, scale 1:100,000, has been constructed through mapping and digital compilation of twenty 1:24,0000-scale geologic work maps. The map and related data provide a basic geologic framework to aid in managing water and earth resources, planning land use, identifying aquifer recharge areas, and identifying sources of aggregate and other earth resources. Geology of the area consists of Cretaceous (Albian to Coniacian) limestone, argillaceous limestone, marl, shale, and sandstone units composing more than 1,500 ft of Cretaceous shelf and shore-zone deposits. This stratigraphy includes the Woodbine and Paluxy Sandstones, sources of sand within the unit’s outcrop belt and important aquifers in the subsurface. Edwards and Comanche Peak limestones are also resources for lime and aggregate. Some local limestone pits are within the Georgetown Formation.
