Wise County, Texas

The source geological map used is "Geologic Atlas of Texas - Sherman sheet" - Bureau of Economic Geology, 1987.  The map was digitally distorted in some spots to align the roads with the more accurate modern map BUT there is still some distortions and alignment is not perfect.  Colors used here are arbitrary.
