The purpose of this study and present report is to update the geologic map of Jackson County to reflect the earlier findings of Marble, et al and Stewart, et al and to provide a better understanding of the relationship between the surface geology and shallow sub-surface geology. This work aided the study of ground water resources in Jackson County, and a companion report has been published on this subject Ground Water Resources of Jackson County, Open File Report 286.

OF-305 Effects of Geologic Structure on Tertiary Formations of Northwestern Mississippi
The information presented in this report is part of a study of subsurface geology that encompassed all or portions of nineteen counties in northwestern Mississippi. In this study, more than 800 borehole geophysical logs were analyzed for the purposes of subsurface correlation and mapping within the Claiborne, Jackson, and Vicksburg Groups.

Figured specimens housed at in the Department of Environmental Quality Office of Geology collections at the 2525 North West Street office are designated by the abbreviation MGS, an abbreviation of the agency’s old name, Mississippi Geological Survey. This publication lists these figured specimens numbered successively as they appear on published plates.
OF-292 Mississippi Digital Earth Model (MDEM), Definition and Standards
The purpose of this Open-File Report No. 292 is to compile into one easily accessible document, the original 2003 legislation which created the Mississippi Coordinating Council for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems, and the documents that in 2004 laid out the "Definition and Standards" for the Mississippi Digitial earth Model (MDEM). The "Standards" were adopted by the Council in December, 2004.
