GR OUND-WATE R R E S 0U R C E S 0 F VICTOR IA AND CALHOUN C 0 U N T I E S , TEXA S ABSTRACT Unconsolidated sand, gravel, and clay of Quaternary age crop out over the greater part of Victoria and Calhoun Counties. Much of the ground water used is withdrawn from wells tapping theLissie formation, Beaumont clay, and Recent alluvium, all of Quaternary age. Some water is withdrawn from wells tapping the Goliad sand which is exposed in northwestern Victoria Countyj the underlying Lagarto clay and Oakville sandstone also contain fresh-water aquifers in that areae The Goliad sand, Lagarto clay, and Oakville sandstone are of late Tertiary age. Both the Tertiary and Quaternary formations dip gently toward the coast and strike northeast-southwest. Artesian ground-water conditions exist in the gently dipping, alternating sand and clay beds. Victoria County has a large reservoir of fresh or slightly saline water that extends from the water table, which is near or above sea level, to at least 94C feet and locally as much as 2,000 feet below sea level. The average daily rate of withdrawal was about 19 million gallons in 1958 . More than half' the water withdrawn was used for rice irrigationj approximately one- fourth was used for public supply. Most of the water was withdrawn from the Lissie forma­ tion and the Goliad sand. The quality of the usable ground water in Victoria County deteriorates slightly from east to west and deteriorates considerably from the northern to the southern part of the county$ Most of the water now being brought to the surface meets the standards for drinking water established by theU. S. Public Health Service for interstate carrierso Water from some wells ( mainly shallow wells ) in the southern and western parts of the county may contain excessive a­ mounts of iron, chloride, nitrate, or dissolved solids. Water of better quality generally is obtainable at greater depths. Water in the fresh or slightly saline zone is suitable for most industrial purposes although most of it is hard or very hard. Ground water of varying quality has been used for irrigation for many years in Victoria County without apparent harm to the soil. Although most of this wa­ ter would be considered marginal or unsuitable in arid to semiarid climates by Ua S. Department of Agriculture standards for irrigation waters, the climate of Victoria County is humid. Calhoun County has a much smaller quantity of fresh or slightly saline ground water than Victoria County. The base of the fresh or slightly saline water is as much as 1,500 feet below sea level in the northwest corner of the county, b1.;.t is much shallower in the rest of the county. Fresh water is scarce. Only a thin zone of usable, slightly saline water exists in the center of Calhoun County between Point Comfort and a point south of Seadrift. In the central and southern parts of the county, the fresh or slightly saline water is overlain by a zone of moderately saline to saline water as much as 250 feet thick. Shallow bodies of fresh water may be found in the surface sands in the Recent alluvium along the coast. The e.verage daily rate of withdrawal in 1958 in Calhoun County was 2.1 mil­ lion gallons; most of it was used for public or stock supply. The water is with­ drawn from wells tapping the Lissie formation, the Beaumont clay, and the Recent alluvium., Ground water in Calhoun County is generally of poor quality, as much of the usable ground water in the county contains excessive amounts of chloride and dis­ solved solids. The water of best quality is found ( l ) in the northeast corner of the co�nty, (2) in the area northwest of Port Lavaca and along the Victoria­ Calhoun county line to the Guadalupe River, and (3) in small areas southeast of Seadrift in the Recent alluvium. Six irrigation wells in a sn�ll area east of Green Lake are pumping water from an aquifer about 250 feet below the surface. The water has a very high salinity l":.azard but is used for supplemental irrigation and its effect upon the soil has r-ot yet been determined. - 2 - G R OUND - WAT ER R E S 0 U R C E S 0 F VICT O RIA AND CALHOUN C 0 U N T I E S , T EXA S INTRODUCTION _Purpose and Scope The water resources of Victoria and Calhoun Counties were investigated as a part of the statewide cooperative program of the Texas Board of Water Engineers and the U . s.

Dawson After the Civil War, the government needed to send an occupation force into Texas to help rebuild the state government and confront the French Imperialist forces that had invaded Mexico. Unfortunately, the government was required to use volunteers because the Regular Army was not yet prepared to handle such a mission. Using citizen soldiers for peacetime occupation was a break from past military tradition, and the men did not appreciate such an act.

  • Civil War Regimental and Unit Histories
    Illinois Adjutant General's Report Regimental and Unit Histories Containing Reports for the Years 1861– 1866 Histories of Illinois Civil War Regiments and Units The following histories of Illinois Civil War regiments and units originate from the first eight volumes of the nine volume publication, Report of the Adjutant General of the State of Illinois (1900-1902). (The ninth volume lists units of the Black Hawk, Mexican and Spanish-American Wars as well as the War of 1812.) The histories, some written shortly after the war’s end, are the work of numerous authors throughout the intervening years. The 1886 version of the Adjutant General’s Report included regimental histories compiled by that office which had not previously been published. The final 1900-1902 republication of the report incorporated revisions and corrections to the histories. A listing of regiments and units which have accompanying histories follows. In recognition of the service of Illinois’ six regiments during the Mexican War, the assignment of regimental numbers for infantry began with seven.
