Droddy, M J; Hovorka, S D

The Beeville Quadrangle, Texas, was evaluated to a depth of 1500 m to identify environments and delineate areas favorable for the occurrence of uranium deposits. The areas were delineated in accordance with criteria established by the National Uranium Resource Evaluation program sponsored by the US Department of Energy. Surface studies included investigations of uranium occurrences described in the literature, location of aerial radiometric anomalies, outcrop investigations, and followup of hydrogeochemical and stream-sediment reconnaissance data. Selected geologic units were evaluated in the subsurface using electric and gamma-ray well logs. An environment favorable for Texas roll-type sandstone deposits is identified in 14 areas located in the Whitsett, Catahoula, Oakville, and Goliad Formations. All other geologic units in this quadrangle are considered unfavorable.
