Description
Runnels County is situated near the center of the State of
Texas, in what is usually referred to as "West Texas." The
rocks of the county belong to the Lower Permian division of the
Paleozoic Group, the Comanchean System of the Mcsozoic Group,
and the Tertiary (?) and Pleistocene divisions of the Cenozoic
Group. The geology of this county was done in connection with
the making of a section of the Permian rocks along the Colorado
River. The areal work was largely done by Mr. Waite, who
also assisted in making certain parts of the section.
