Selected high-risk counties in A Selected high-risk counties (parishes) in Louisiana are shown in solid green. Yellow patterns are mapped clay-rich bedrock and sediments (Horton, 2017) known or suspected to contain high transition metal contents. Blue polygons or patches are known oil fields and appear green where they coincide with clay-rich material. Large magenta dots are oil refineries, including several in nearby states. B A map of the Colorado River and major tributaries. Municipalities and unincorporated areas using Colorado River water are indicated in blue patterns (website below), along with high-risk counties in red, creating purple regions where they overlap.
