About This Publication
This geologic map of the Mission Bay Quadrangle illustrates the geology of the Aransas and Mission deltas area, Texas Gulf of Mexico Coast. The map of this quadrangle depicts an area where the Mission delta prograded into Mission Bay during the mid-to-late Holocene. Geology of the area partly consists of upland Pleistocene Beaumont clay, silt, sand, and minor gravel of fluvial-deltaic interdistributary and distributary settings. Sand-rich channel facies of the Beaumont Formation are displayed. Modern-to-Holocene fluvial floodplain, levee, crevasse splay, point bar, clay dune, and terrace deposits occur within the Mission River valley. Delta plain and bay margin deposits are adjacent to Mission Bay.
