Geology of Collin County, Texas

The source geological map used is from "The Geological  Atlas of Texas, Sherman Sheet" - Bureau of Economic Geology, 1967 (revised 1991).  The map was digitally distorted in some spots to align the roads with the more accurate modern map.  Colors used in this map are arbitrary but similar to original map colors.
