About This Publication
This map is one of several 1:24,000-scale maps of the region south of San Antonio, focusing on sand resources in the Tertiary stratigraphy of South Central Texas. Maps of this region 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, sand, gravel, and other earth resources. This study area lies within an Eocene-age Carrizo-Wilcox fluvial-deltaic setting to transitional marine transgressional Reklaw Formation and Queen City Sand. The Carrizo Formation is an important sand resource in South Central Texas, and the Carrizo-Wilcox aquifer recharge zone is important for water resource management in the region.
