Included in the preliminaries of some reports is a four-page “Introduction to County Geology” that provides “a brief resume of the geology of the state as a whole.” Reports for some counties were combined with one or more other counties. Geology reports were not published for the following counties: Audubon, Calhoun, Floyd, Greene, Shelby, and Union.
