High-alumina kaolinitic clay in the United States, exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii

Abstract

The general distribution of high-alumina kaolinitic clay deposits in the United States (exclusive of Alaska and Hawaii) is shown on the accompanying map. The locations of mines, pits, and prospects are shown by appropriate symbols. Certain clay-bearing areas are shown by patterns that designate the geologic age of the deposits. The locations are numbered consecutively by states and are keyed to an index which lists the name of the deposit, county, and principal references. Only significant references on the size, quality, and geologic occurrence of deposits are listed. Some of the data for the map and index were compiled by John W. Hosterman and the late Leona Boardman.
