Materials Inventory of Mitchell County, Kansas
The purpose of this report is to present information pertaining to the availability, location, and nature of deposits of material for use in highway construction and similar projects in Mitchell County, and to provide a guide for materials prospecting in the county. This investigation includes all of Mitchell County. All geologic units which are considered a construction material source are mapped and described. Construction material, as used in this report, includes soft limestone which can be crushed and used as surfacing material on lightly traveled rural roads as well as granular material suitable for road construction purposes. Mineral filler of high quality is included in this term. General information concerning significant geo-engineering problems is included in this report. Because all construction material source beds are the product of geological agents, the materials inventory is based largely on the geology of the county. This enables one to ascertain the general engineering properties of the material source unit and to identify and classify each bed according to current geologic nomenclature. By adopting this nomenclature to materials inventories, a uniform system of material source bed classification is established.
