The ground under Roberts County
PredictedUSGS's geologic map puts all of Roberts County's mapped land in one class: moderate radon potential. All of it lies in the area the map calls Northern High Plains and Plateaus, to which USGS gives a radon index of 10, in the moderate band (9 to 11).
| Area | The rock, in USGS's words | Potential | Radon index | Share of land |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northern High Plains and Plateaus | Tertiary sandstone, siltstone, shale. | Moderate | 10 | 100% |
