The ground under Love County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Love County's mapped land in one class: low radon potential. The map puts 87.4% of Love County in the area it calls Gulf Coast Plain and 11.9% in Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills, with one smaller area beside them. USGS gives the first a radon index of 8 and the second 7, both in the low band (5 to 8).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gulf Coast Plain | Cretaceous shale, nonmarine sand and clay and marine limestone and clay. | Low | 8 | 87.4% |
| Central Oklahoma Plains and Hills | Nonmarine Permian and Tertiary rocks, including shale, sandstone, and conglomerate in the western part, and Mississippian and Pennsylvanian rocks in the eastern part. | Low | 7 | 11.9% |
| Central Texas/Gulf Coast Plain | Cretaceous through Quaternary marine sandstone, shale, chalk, limestone, siltstone, clay, and lignite. | Low | 7 | 0.7% |
