Part 5. NORTHWESTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre

The publication of records of water levels and artesian pressures annually in the United 

States was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. Prior to 1940 the records for each year 

were published in a single volume 1935, 777; 1936, 817; 1937, 840; 1938, 845; 1939, 886. Since 

1940 records have been published in six annual volumes, covering the northeastern, southeastern, 

north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern sections of the country. Hawaii 

is included in the southwestern section. The following table gives the numbers of Water-Supply 

Papers from 1940 through 1955.

The objectives of the observation-well program are to provide a day-to-day evaluation of 

available ground-water supplies, to facilitate the prediction of trends in ground-water levels that 

will indicate the probable status of important ground-water supplies in the future, to delineate 

present or potential areas of detrimentally high or low ground-water levels, to aid in the prediction of the base flow of streams, to determine the several forces that act on a ground-water body, 

and to demonstrate the interplay of those forces in the ground-water regimen, to furnish information for use in basic research, and to provide long-term continuous records of fluctuations of 

water levels in representative wells. These selected records serve as a framework to which . 

many short-term records collected during an intensive investigation may be related.

Water levels in wells are seldom stationary but move up or down a fraction of an inch or 

many feet within a short time. Water-table wells may be influenced by direct recharge from 

precipitation, withdrawals from wells or springs, transpiration by vegetation, evaporation from 

the soil, and changes in atmospheric pressure. Artesian wells are influenced over large areas 

by changes in the rate of pumping from other wells, changes in atmospheric pressure, earthquakes, ocean tides, earth tides, and recharge from precipitation, although the recharge may 

not be noticeable immediately. When accurate comparisons of water levels are made it is 

desirable to apply corrections for these influences, several of which may be compensating or 

additive according to the conditions at those particular times.
WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1955, NORTHWESTERN STATES

Water-level measurements are given in feet with reference to land-surface datum or 

sea-level datum. Land-surface datum is a precise datum plane that is approximately at land 

surface at each well. Mean sea level (msl) is the datum plane on which the national network of 

precise levels is based. When some measurements in a table are above and others are below 

the plane of reference, a plus (+) or minus (-) sign is placed immediately before the first entry 

in each column. Readings between plus signs are above the plane of reference and those between 

minus signs are below the plane of reference.

For the most part, discussions of precipitation in this report are based on data furnished 

by the United States Weather Bureau.

Measurements of water levels and artesian pressures in wells were made under the 

direction of the district supervisors of the Ground Water Branch in the several States.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the Colorado Water 

Conservation Board and the Colorado Agricultural Experiment Station. In 1955, measurements 

were made in 265 wells, 4 of which were equipped with recording gages. Water levels in 149 wells 

were measured by W. E. Code of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Figures 2-11 show the location of observation wells.

Precipitation

Precipitation in Colorado was about normal in February, May, and June; in the mountains 

and northern part of the State it was normal in March and September. During the remainder of 

1955 precipitation was below normal.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels have declined in the heavily pumped areas of the State. Water levels in the 

majority of the observation wells in Adams, El Paso, Larimer, Logan, Morgan, Otero, Weld, 

and Yuma Counties declined to record lows, and some record lows were established in Sedgwick 

and Washington Counties. New record highs were reported in Baca, Huerfano, Otero, Phillips, 

Pitkin, and Sedgwick Counties. A doubling of the amount of water pumped for irrigation in Kit 

Carson County has as yet resulted in no significant regional decline in water level, despite persistent drought. Water levels near Fountain Creek in El Paso County continued to decline in 

areas of heavy pumping; in areas of moderate pumping the water levels rose after above-normal 

precipitation and streamflow during the summer.

Well-Numbering System

We 11s are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. The first letter of a well number gives the quadrant of the meridian and base line system, 

beginning in the northeast quadrant (A) and proceeding counterclockwise. All wells in Colorado 

lie in the northwest (B) and southwest (C) quadrants of the sixth principal meridian and fortieth 

parallel base line system. The first numeral of a well number indicates the township, the second 

the range, and the third the section. The lowercase letters a, b, c, and d after the section number locate the well within the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second letter the 40-acre tract, and the third letter the 10-acre tract.

IDAHO

By R. H. Carson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Idaho has been continuous since 1946 in cooperation with 

the State Department of Reclamation. Measurements were made in observation wells in the Rathdrum Valley, Kootenai County, in collaboration with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game and 

in the Snake River plain in collaboration with the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission and the 

U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. Special investigations on behalf of the Atomic Energy Commission, 

begun in 1949, were continued in the central Snake River plain. An areal study in the western 

Snake River plain was continued as a noncooperative Federal project. A report on an appraisal 

of ground-water resources of the Big Wood River-Silver Creek area in Blaine County, in cooperation with the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation, was completed. At the end of 1955, measurements 

were being made in 72 observation wells in 16 of the 44 counties in Idaho. Ten recording gages 

and 2 nonrecording gages were operated throughout 1955. Figures 12-15 show the location of 

observation wells in the State.

The following report in mimeographed form was released to the open file in 1955: Records 

of wells and water-level fluctuations in the Aberdeen-Springfield area, Bingham and Power Counties, Idaho, by H. G. Sisco.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Observation wells in the Boise Valley of Ada and Canyon Counties are in a heavily irrigated 

area of about 350 squares miles. The effects of local precipitation on water-level fluctuations in 

the valley are largely masked by artificial recharge from excess irrigation water from the Boise 

River. Drainage canals and pumped drainage wells also introduce local complications in waterlevel fluctuations. Precipitation in the area during 1955 was above normal and considerably above 

that of 1954. None of the wells in the valley, however, reached a record high, failing to do so 

for the first time in several years, probably as a result of decreased applications of sui/ace water 

during an abnormally wet spring. Ground-water pumpage in the Boise Valley, estimated to be 

about 150,000 acre-feet yearly, is largely for irrigation and drainage. Figure 16 shows longterm water-level records for Ada County well 4N lW-36dal and Canyon County well 3N 2W-25aal, 

which are representative of wells in the irrigated part of the Boisq Valley. In January 1955, the 

water level in Boise County well 7N 2E-34cal was slightly below average; by year end it was above 

average, as a result of above-normal precipitation during 1955. The water level in Bonneville 

County well 3N 41E-6cbl, near the edge of an extensive irrigated area in the eastern Snake River 

plain, was slightly below average, probably as a result of below-normal precipitation during 1955. 

The high for the year (37.7) was on August 21; the low (59.1) on April 3. Figure 17 is a longterm hydrograph of the well.

Wells in the Raft River valley, Cassia County, showed appreciable net changes in storage 

during 1955. Water levels in 5 of the 6 wells reported reached record lows in 1955, probably 

as a result of increased withdrawals of ground water for new irrigation developments. It is 

estimated that ground-water withdrawals in 1955 were about 70,000 acre-feet. In 1954, the 

estimated withdrawal was about 30,000 acre-feet. Cassia County well 13S 22E-9dcl, in the Oakley 

Valley, showed a net decline of about 15 feet, reaching the lowest level of record (102. 37) on 

May 18. The decline was caused partly by below-normal precipitation and partly by increased 

draft of ground water for irrigation development. Irrigation withdrawals in 1955 were estimated 

to be about 17,000 acre-feet. In 1954, the estimated withdrawal was about 15,000 acre-feet. 

The water level in Jefferson County well 5N 34E-9bdl declined to the lowest of record in August 

and early September, then rose, reaching almost the same stage in December as in December 

1954. The water level in this well fluctuates in response to changes in barometric pressure as 

well as to other factors. The barometric efficiency of the well is about 60 percent; the water 

levels in this report have not been adjusted for barometric effects. In the Rathdrum Valley of 

Kootenai County, year-end water levels were slightly below those in December 1954. Water 

levels in wells near Pend Oreille Lake reach their highest stages late in the fall. The water 

levels in these wells declined about 1 foot during 1955. Wells in the southwestern part of the 

Rathdrum Valley are sufficiently distant from the lake to escape its direct influence; their water 

levels are influenced chiefly by regional ground-water recharge factors. Water levels declined

about 1. 5 feet during 1955. Figure 18 is a long-term hydrograph for well 53N 4W-24bbl, about 

10 miles southwest of Pend Oreille Lake. The water level in the well declined about 3 feet during 

1955; the net decline since 1950 is about 12 feet.

The water level in Latah County well 39N 5W-7ddl, a nonflowing artesian well in the Moscow 

Basin, declined about 5 feet net, continuing the trend that began many years ago. Ground-water 

pumpage from the artesian aquifer in 1955 was estimated to be about 2, 200 acre-feet. In well 

39N 5W-10acl, a shallow water-table well east of the Moscow Basin, the December water level 

was about 1 foot above that of 1954. Total precipitation in the area was above normal for 1955.

In the Malad Valley of Oneida County, 8 of 28 wells reached record-low levels, continuing 

the trend of 1954. Water levels in most wells ranged from about 1 to 8 feet below the 1954 yearend stages; in 3 wells, water levels were about 2 to 3 feet above the 1954 year-end stages. Precipitation in the Malad Valley was above normal during 1955. Differences in net changes of water 

levels and in departures from average are partly a result of local pumping and discharge by 

flowing wells. Wells in the Malad Valley characteristically reach their highest levels during the 

period February to April. Ground-water withdrawals in 1955 were estimated to be about 

32, 000 acre-feet.

The water level in well 7N 5W-3dal in the Payette Valley of Payette County did not change 

from 1954. The highest for 1955 was 32. 2 in September; the lowest was 42. 8 in May. Precipitation in the area was slightly below normal but was greater than in 1954. The effects of local precipitation on water-level fluctuations in this well are masked by artificial recharge from irrigation.

During 1955 the following wells were discontinued as observation wells: Jefferson County 

7N 37E-14cbl; Kootenai County 51N 5W-21dal; Minidoka County 8S 24E-7dal; and Oneida County 

15S 35E-ldbl. Ada County well 4N lW-35aal was added to the observation-well network in 1955. 

Measurements since 1933 are included in this report.

Water-level fluctuations in 1955 in most observation wells with 10 years or more of record 

are summarized in the following tables.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision with reference to the Boise base line and meridian. The first segment indicates the 

township, the second the range, and the third the section in which the well is situated. The lowercase letters (a, b, c, and d) after the section number indicate the well location within the section. 

The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre 

tract. The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast 

quarter. Well 52N 4W-12cdbl is the first well recorded in the NW^SEiSWi sec. 12, T. 52 N., 

R. 4 W. The numeral after the lowercase letter indicates the order in which the well was recorded.

MONTANA

By Frank A. Swenson

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Montana was continued in 1955 in connection with the 

ground-water studies being made cooperatively with the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology 

and as part of the program for the development of the Missouri River Basin. Figure 19 shows 

the location of 20 wells in Montana whose 1955 measurements are included in this report. Measurements made in many other wells in the State will be published in project reports.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The years 1954 and 1955 were characterized by lack of extremes in water-level fluctuations. 

In 1955, the water level reached the lowest stage of record in Big Horn County well D-2-34-23ad 

(1. 68 feet lower than in 1954) in the southern part of the State, in Chouteau County well A-29-13- 

21aa2 (2. 92 feet lower than in 1954) in the north-central part, and in Roosevelt County well 

A-27-49-4aa (0. 52 foot lower than in 1954) in the northeastern part. Recent nearby ground-water 

development probably caused the sharp drop in water level in the well south of Box Elder. Water 

levels were highest of record in Fergus County well A-14-16-15bb (0. 34 foot higher than in 1952) 

in the central part of the State, in Hill County well A-32-15-17dd (0. 91 foot higher than in 1954) 

in the north-central part, and in Roosevelt County well A-28-57-28dd (0. 42 foot higher than in 

1954) in the northeastern part. The well near Assinboine in Hill County and the well at Lanark 

in Roosevelt County have shown a steadily rising trend for several years. A marked decrease 

in ground-water use at Havre may be the cause of the rise in the Assinboine well.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land 

subdivision. The first digit of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, and 

the third the section in which the well is situated. The first lowercase letter denotes the 160-acre 

tract and the second the 40-acre tract. The letters are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, 

beginning in the northeastern quarter. The capital letters A, B, C, and D--designate the location of the well in the northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast quadrants, respectively, of 

the Montana principal meridian and base line system. Thus, the number D-2-34-23ad designates 

a well in the SE^NE? sec. 23, T. 2 S., R. 34 E.

OREGON

By Stuart G. Brown

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Oregon was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the 

State Engineer. Measurements of water levels were made in 100 wells, 4 of which are equipped 

with nonrecording gages. Figures 20, 21, and 22 show the location of observation wells in western, central, and eastern Oregon, respectively. Reports on ground-water investigations in the 

Klamath Basin, in the Tualatin Valley, in the area near Pilot Rock, and in the area near Simnasho 

were released to the open file. An investigation of the occurrence of ground water near Ana 

Springs was begun.

Precipitation

Precipitation for the 1955 water year, as computed at 17 stations, was deficient, being 

only 83 percent of average. (A "water year" includes a wet season followed by a dry season.) 

East of the Cascade Mountains, precipitation was 73 percent of average; west of the Cascades, it 

was 90 percent of average. The precipitation ranged from 42 percent of average at Ashland in the 

Rogue River basin to 98 percent of average at Astoria near the mouth of the Columbia River. West 

of the Cascades, the precipitation was above average in March, April, July, and September.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

The State of Oregon is separated into two major divisions by the Cascade Mountains. The 

western division, about one-third of the State, has a humid coastal-type climate; the eastern division is generally higher and drier. The plateaus and mountains have a continental type of climate subject to greater extremes of temperature and a seasonal distribution of precipitation. 

Water levels in observation wells in Oregon are measured at various times of the year in order 

to obtain records of the effects of pumping and seasonal changes in ground-water storage. Measurements are made in early spring before heavy pumping begins, during the pumping season, and 

at the end of the pumping season. Midwinter measurements show the position of the ground-water 

level before the normal spring recharge. Certain water levels, such as those in the Fort Rock 

Basin in Lake County in the south-central part of the State, apparently lag behind the precipitation by 8 to 10 years. Water levels in wells in the Walla Walla Basin in Umatilla County in the 

northeastern part of the State show the passage of ground water through the alluvial fan as a wave, 

commonly having a sharp rise as the snowmelt runs off and a slow decline to the end of the water 

year. The water year extends from October 1 of one year to September 30 of the next year. At 

or near the end of the water year, comparisons are made of the net changes in water levels recorded for the same period of the current and previous years. There were more net declines 

than net rises in water levels in water-table wells at the end of the 1955 water year. These declines are the result of the drier than average water year, which caused a greater than average 

withdrawal from ground-water reservoirs.

Willamette Valley. In 1955, water levels in observation wells in the Willamette Valley in 

western Oregon declined an average of 0.11 foot in response to below-average precipitation during 

the water year. The decline was neither excessive nor general. April, July, August, and September were above average in precipitation. Temperatures were below normal in March, April, 

May, July, and August. Wells in the Willamette Valley are listed under Benton, Lane, Linn, 

Marion, Multnomah, Washington, and Yamhill Counties.

Crooked River basin. --In the Prineville area in the north-central part of the State, water 

levels in the water-table wells declined an average of 1. 3 feet. The year-end level in Crook 

County artesian well 14/16-32N1, in an area of heavy pumping, was about 5. 4 feet lower than at 

the end of 1954. The artesian aquifer provides water for several large mills and for a part of 

the municipal supply of the city of Prineville. Precipitation in Prineville was deficient in every 

month except July. The precipitation for the 1955 water year was 56 percent of average.

The Dalles area. --Water level in Wasco County artesian well 1N/13-32G1 was 11.6 feet 

lower in September 1955 than in September 1954. The level in well 2N/12-25R1, a water-table 

well in The Dalles formation, rose 13.6 feet during the same period. Precipitation at The Dalles 

was 57 percent of average; it was belowaverage during every month except March, April, and 

July.

Grand Ronde Valley. --Water levels in water-table wells rose an average of about 0.3 foot. 

Union County artesian well 1/38-24R1 showed a rise of about 30. 6 feet from the 1954 year-end 

water level.

Baker Valley. --Water levels declined an average of about 1.2 feet in the 6 wells measured. 

Net declines ranged from more than 3 feet in the western part of the valley to about 0.4 foot in 

the eastern part. Precipitation at Baker Airport was 52 percent of average; it was above average 

in July and September.

Walla Walla Basin. --In the Walla Walla River basin in the northeastern part of the State, 

water levels declined an average of 1. 8 feet in the 14 wells measured. At the end of September, 

water levels in 3 wells showed a net rise of 0.2 foot to 1.4 feet. Water levels in 10 wells showed 

a decline of 0.2 foot to 7.8 feet. Precipitation at Milton-Freewater was 75 percent of average; 

April, July, and August were above average. Wells in the Walla Walla Basin are listed under 

Umatilla County.

Owyhee River basin. --Water levels in Malheur County declined an average of 2.2 feet. 

Wells 15/40-2H1 and -2N1, in a closed ground-water basin, declined 3.3 feet between January 

and December 1955 and 6. 5 feet between September 1954 and September 1955, respectively. This 

decline is consistent with continuous overdraft; a decline has been noted since 1950. The rise in 

well 18/47-17D1 in an area heavily irrigated during the summer began at the end of April 1955 

and continued to the end of the 1955 water year.

Fort Rock Basin. Wells tapping the deeper, partly confined ground water in the Fort Rock 

Basin showed an average rise in water level of about 0.3 foot. Water,levels in shallower wells 

rose about 0.2 foot. Perched water in well 29/16-9D2 declined 6. 4 feet along with the level of 

Silver Lake, which subsided considerably. Precipitation at The Poplars was 54 percent of average. 

Only April, July, and September were above average in precipitation.

Summer Lake and Abert Lake basins. Lake County artesian well 33/17-5M1 declined about 

0.6 foot. The two water-table wells (35/21-21P1 and 36/26-6B1) in the Abert Lake Basin declined 

about 0. 6 foot.

Warner Lake basin. --The water levels in 4 water-table wells in the northern part of Warner 

Valley showed an average decline of about 1 foot; the two water-table wells in the southern part of 

Warner Valley near Adel showed an average rise of about 2 feet.

Klamath Basin. Water levels in wells penetrating the perched aquifer in the Swan Lake 

and Yonna Valleys declined an average of about 1. 5 feet. Water-table well 38/lli-30Ql declined 

about 2 feet.

Harney Basin. --In the area near Burns, water levels in wells tapping unconfined water 

declined an average of 0. 5 foot. The water level in artesian well 22/31-34N1 rose about 5. 6 feet. 

Precipitation at Burns was 87 percent of average; it was above average in April, July, and September.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. The first two segments indicate township and range; the one or two digits after the hyphen indicate the section; the letter indicates the 40-acre subdivision of the section, as shown in 

the diagram; and the final digit indicates the serial number of the well within the 40-acre tract. 

Locations in Oregon are referred to the Willamette base line and meridian. If no letter appears 

after the township number, the township lies south of the base line: if no letter appears after the 

range number, the range lies east of the meridian. Thus, well 3/38-25B1 is in the NWiNE? 

sec. 25, T. 3 S., R. 38 E., and is the first well listed in this tract.

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Utah, begun in 1935, was continued in 1955 in cooperation 

with the State Engineer. Investigations were continued in the principal pumping districts of southwestern Utah, namely, the Beryl-Enterprise and Milford districts of Escalante Valley, Cedar 

City Valley, and Parowan Valley. Detailed ground-water studies were continued in the East 

Shore area in connection with the Weber Basin project in cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation. A ground-water study was made in the Monticello area of southeastern Utah in cooperation 

with the Atomic Energy Commission. Ten pumping tests were run on a group of supply wells 

drilled in the vicinity of the Atomic Energy Commission's uranium ore processing plant at Monticello. During 1955 a total of 3,163 static water-level measurements were made in 1,017 selected 

observation wells scattered through 42 ground-water areas of the State. In addition, recording 

gages were maintained on 53 wells. The records of 274 of these observation wells, including 

22 recording gages, are given in this report.

The records of other wells listed in previous annual reports may be examined in the open 

file at the Utah district office of the Ground Water Branch, U. S. Geological Survey, 503 Federal 

Building, Salt Lake City, Utah. In addition, some records of water-level measurements are 

included in special project reports that are published separately. The water-level report does 

not include more than 1,200 pumping measurements made in approximately 400 irrigation wells 

during the pumping season.

The following table shows by counties and areas the number of observation wells measured 

in Utah during 1955, the number of measurements made in these wells, and the number of recording gages maintained.

Two ground-water papers, "Sedimentary features in the Lake Bonneville group in the East 

Shore area near Ogden, " by J. H. Feth, and "Resume' of the Tertiary and Quaternary stratigraphy 

of Ogden Valley," by B. E. Lofgren, were published by the Utah Geological Society in the Guidebook to the geology of Utah No. 10, "Tertiary and Quaternary geology of the eastern Bonneville 

Basin."

A report on the Atomic Energy Commission's supply wells in the vicinity of a uranium ore 

processing plant near Monticello, Utah, was prepared by W. B. Nelson. At the request of the 

Commission, this report will be withheld from the open file until 1957.

Precipitation

In general, 1955 was cooler than usual, but only as a result of the very cold first 7 months 

outweighing the warm final 5 months in the yearly averages. Precipitation was lighter than usual 

in most places, but yearly totals exceeded normal by considerable amounts in most of the northwestern part of the State. Mountain snowfall was heavy during winter months in the north, especially in December. The southwestern, eastern, and west-central parts were dry most of the
84 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1955, NORTHWESTERN STATES

year. Agriculture, after a difficult dry period early in the year, was greatly improved by late 

summer rains, except in parts of eastern, southern, and western Utah where there was not enough 

precipitation to overcome accumulated deficiencies. Although not as dry as 1953 and 1954, 1955 

was dry enough over much of the State to create difficulties. Although the Utah 1955 average, 

11. 79 inches, was only 1. 39 inches (11 percent) below normal, the fact that this small deficiency 

followed 2 dry years increased its effect and importance. The early part of the growing season 

was also dry. The southwestern part of the State had a yearly average deficiency of 3. 41 inches, 

the average 8. 29-inch total being only 71 percent of normal. Many southern stations were even 

drier than in 1954. As a result, ground-water levels continued to decline in this part of the State. 

The wettest places, in general, were in the higher elevations around the Salt Lake City area.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

In general, water levels in observation wells in the southwestern part of Utah declined from 

January 1950 through December 1955 in response to the extended drought and as a result of the 

accelerated use of ground water for irrigation. In the northern part of the State, water levels in 

most observation wells declined from January 1953 through December 1955. The hydrographs of 

14 selected observation wells are shown in figures 23-27. The hydrographs of these wells have 

been selected as being representative of water-level trends throughout the State. Although significant seasonal variations in water level have been measured in each of these wells, only yearend readings have been used in the hydrographs to show annual changes in ground-water storage.

As noted in the hydrographs of Cache County well (A-12-l)29bdd-l in Cache Valley and 

Tooele County well (C-2-4)33add-l in Tooele Valley in northern Utah (fig. 23), year-end water 

levels have remained relatively constant or have risen slightly from December 1940 through 

December 1955. The end-of-year water level in Cache County well (A-12-l)29bdd-l has declined 

slightly since 1952, but the 1955 end-of-year measurement was about 4 feet higher than at the 

beginning of record in 1940. The water level in Tooele County well (C-2-4)33add-l rose steadily 

from December 1939 through December 1947, when it reached the highest year-end stage, which 

was 15 feet higher than the low point at the end of 1939. This rise was in response to recharge 

from water flowing from the Elton Tunnel about 3 miles to the southeast. Since 1947, the yearend water levels have declined slightly, as a result of increased ground-water development and 

below-normal precipitation. The cumulative departure from normal during the period 1948-55 

amounted to about 14 inches. The water level in Salt Lake County well (D-2-l)4dbd-4 in Holladay 

reached the lowest stage during the entire period of record (January 1931-December 1955) at the 

end of 1934. The year-end water level rose to about 3 feet above land surface from 1935 to 1942 

and was fairly constant until 1951. The water level then rose sharply, reaching the highest stage 

for the period of record at the end of 1952 as a result of above-normal runoff during 1952. The 

end-of-year water level declined from 1952 to 1955, reaching a point about 5 feet higher than 

during the lowest stage at the end of 1934.

The hydrographs of Box Elder County well (B-8-2)23cdb-l, Weber County well (B-5-2)4cdd-l, 

and Davis County well (A-2-l)19dbc-l in the East Shore area are shown in figure 24. The yearend water level in well (B-8-2)23cdb-l rose gradually from 1935 to the end of 1945 when the 

highest year-end stage for the period of record occurred. The year-end water level declined 

slightly from 1946 through 1953. A decline of 5. 59 feet in 1954 was followed by a rise of about 

5 feet during 1955. At the end of 1955, the water level was more than 6 feet higher than it was 

at the beginning of record in 1935. The hydrograph of Weber County well (B-5-2)4cdd-l near 

Ogden shows a decline in water level from January 1937 to the end of 1951 and a very sharp rise 

during 1952 in response to the abnormally high spring runoff of 1952. The year-end water level 

declined in 1953 and 1954, reaching a new alltime low stage at the end of 1954. During 1955 the 

water level rose slightly. The hydrograph of Davis County well (A-2-l)19dbc-l at Bountiful shows 

a sharp decline in year-end water level from 1938 to 1940 and a marked rise in 1941 and 1942. 

The year-end water level was relatively constant from 1942 to 1950 when the highest year-end 

stage for the period of record was reached. From January 1951 to December 1955, the water 

level in the Bountiful well declined, the greatest yearly change occurring in 1954. The lowest 

year-end stage for the period of record was reached in 1955 when the water level was 18 feet 

lower than at the end of 1950. The pumping of several new wells in the immediate vicinity of the 

Bountiful observation well undoubtedly contributed to the water-level decline.

The hydrographs of Utah County well (D-5-l)14adb-l in American Fork, Millard County well 

(C-21-5)21aba-l near Flowell, and Sevier County well (C-23-2)19dab-l near Richfield are shown 

in figure 25. The water level in well (D-5-l)14adb-l reached the lowest year-end stage during 

its period of record in 1941 and rose to the highest year-end stage in 1952, a net rise of about 

19 feet. The water level in Millard County well (C-21-5)21aba-l rose gradually from January 

1933 to December 1948 when the highest year-end stage during the entire period of record 

was observed. In December 1948, the water level was about 2 feet above land surface; in December 1935, the water level was about 16 feet below land surface. From December 1948 through 

December 1955, the water level declined about 13 feet in response to the increased use of ground 

water for irrigation as a result of below-normal precipitation. The water level in Sevier County 

well (C-23-2)19dab-l rose significantly from January 1936 to December 1942 when an alltime 

year-end high was reached. The water level fluctuated as much as 20 feet during the period from 

January 1936 through December 1954. The net rise during this period amounted to about 11 feet.

88 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURES, 1955, NORTHWESTERN STATES

From December 1949 through December 1952, the water level rose about 8 feet; from December 

1952 through December 1954, it declined about 8 feet. Water-level measurements were discontinued when the well was put back into continuous service for watering livestock, making further 

measurements of artesian head impossible.

The hydrographs of Sanpete County well (D-16-3)32ddc-2 near Ephraim and Beaver County 

well (C-29-10)6ddc-l, replaced by 6ddc-2 in 1953, near Milford are shown in figure 26. The 

water level in well (D-16-3)32ddc-2, which reached its lowest year-end stage during the period 

of record in 1939, rose about 12 feet from December 1939 through December 1942. The water 

level, which rose sharply in response to the unusually high runoff in 1952, declined significantly 

from December 1952 through December 1955, the net decline amounting to about 12 feet. This 

well records the changes of water level in a relatively small, steeply inclined ground-water basin. 

By contrast, Beaver County well (C-29-10)6ddc-2 is in the center of a large group of irrigation 

wells pumping from an exceptionally large underground reservoir. In general, water-level trends 

in the Milford district have been downward since 1939 in response to abnormally low precipitation 

and accelerated pumping, although the quantities of ground water in storage are large, as compared to seasonal changes in storage. The water level in well (C-29-10)6ddc-2 declined steadily 

from December 1949 through December 1955, the net decline amounting to about 18 feet. The 

water level reached the lowest stage in its 23-year record at the end of 1955, when the net decline 

amounted to about 11 feet.

The hydrographs of Iron County wells (C-33-9)34dcd-l in Parowan Valley, (C-35-ll)33aac-l 

in Cedar City Valley, and (C-35-17)25cdd-l in the Beryl-Enterprise district are shown in figure 

27. During the period from January 1950 through December 1955, the water level in well 

(C-33-9)34dcd-l declined about 22 feet. The net decline in water level during the 20-year period 

of record is about 10 feet. This well is in area that has been closed to further ground-water 

development by the State Engineer. The year-end water level in well (C-35-ll)33aac-l declined 

from December 1949 to December 1955, except for a 4-foot rise in 1952 in response to high runoff 

in Coal Creek, the principal source of recharge for Cedar City Valley. The net decline in yearend water level from 1949 to 1955 amounted to about 22 feet; the net decline for the 25-year period 

of record amounted to about 28 feet. The ground water in the pumping district in Cedar City 

Valley is considered to be fully appropriated. The Utah State Engineer has not authorized drilling 

of irrigation wells there since 1942, except as replacements for wells having established rights. 

In spite of this regulation, water levels in 1955 were the lowest of record, being 5 to 14 feet lower 

than the minimums during the drought of the 1930's. This recession is attributed to the current 

drought in large part. In the 6 years ending October 1, 1955, precipitation at Cedar City was 

markedly less than in any other 6-year period in the past 50 years, and stream runoff has been 

likewise far below average. Water levels in the Beryl-Enterprise district, on the other hand, 

reflect the gradual unwatering of an exceptionally large underground reservoir. The water level 

in well (C-35-17)25cdd-l in the center of this extensive district declined steadily from January 

1946 through December 1955, the net decline amounting to about 13 feet.

Acknowledgments

Water-level records from several observation wells in Salt Lake Valley are furnished 

through informal cooperation with the Salt Lake City Corporation. Records of 230 observation 

wells, including 14 recording gages in the East Shore area of Weber and Davis Counties and 

3 recording gages in Wasatch County, were furnished by the Bureau of Reclamation.

Well-Numbering System

The well number indicates the location of the well with reference to land subdivision, according to the system adopted by the State Engineer. By this system (described in the 20th Biennial 

Report), the State is divided into four quadrants by the Salt Lake base and meridian. These quadrants are designated by capital letters, thus: A for the northeast quadrant, representing townships 

north, ranges east; Bfor the northwest quadrant; Cfor the southwest; and Dfor the southeast. 

Numbers designating the township and range follow the quadrant letter, and all three are enclosed 

in parentheses. Thus, in well number (C-28-7)21daa-l, the part within parentheses indicates 

that the well is in T. 28 S., R. 7 W. The number after the parentheses designates the section. 

The lowercase letters give the location of the well within the section, the first letter indicating 

the quarter section and the other letters the location within the quarter section down to a 10-' 

acre tract. Thus, (C-28-7)21daa-l represents the first well listed as an observation well in the 

NE^NEiSEi sec. 21, T. 28 S., R. 7 W. In the area surveyed from the Uinta special base and 

meridian (in Duchesne and Uintah Counties), the well numbers are preceded by the capital letter 

U. The State claim or application number given is that used in records of the State Engineer. 

Claim numbers refer to wells that were in existence when the State ground-water law went into 

effect in March 1935; the application numbers refer to wells completed since that date.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum unless otherwise indicated. When some 

measurements in a table are above and others below the plane of reference a plus (+) or minus (-) 

sign is placed immediately before the first entry in each column of each mixed table. Readings 

between plus signs are above the plane of reference, those between minus signs are below the 

plane of reference.

WASHINGTON

By Glen D. Holmberg

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Washington was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the 

State Department of Conservation and Development, Water Resources Division. Water-level 

measurements in 1 lake and 122 wells are included in this report. Figure 28 shows the location 

of observation wells in the State. Several wells, not listed in the report, were measured periodically in connection with investigations of the ground-water resources of counties or other areas. 

Investigational projects include the Seattle metropolitan area in King County, Lewis County, 

Whitman County, and the Columbia Basin area. Two reports on the ground-water resources of 

Washington were released to the open file in 1955: "Data report on the Sammamish Lake area, 

King County, " and "Data report on the Tacoma-Central Pierce County area. " The report "Ground 

water in the Yelm area, Thurston and Pierce Counties," released to the open file in 1953, was 

published as Circular 356. The report "Geology and ground-water resources of Kitsap County, " 

released to the open file in 1954, will be published as Water-Supply Paper 1413.

Precipitation

The Cascade Range divides the State into eastern and western parts which have distinctly 

different climatic conditions. East of the Cascades, precipitation is generally low to moderate. 

Average annual precipitation in most of the eastern part ranges from 7 to 15 inches. Along the 

eastern border it ranges from 20 to 25 inches; in the southeastern corner, from 20 to 40 inches. 

Average annual precipitation for most of the central part of western Washington ranges from 40 

to 60 inches. Along the west slope of the Cascades and also along the Pacific Coast, annual precipitation at many places averages as much as 100 inches.

The first table shows the monthly precipitation for 1955 in comparison with normal precipitation. Records of the Olympia station are representative of western Washington. The records 

of the Ellensburg and the Spokane stations are representative of eastern Washington. The second 

table shows the annual precipitation at 10 representative stations and the ratio in percent of the 

1955 precipitation to the normal. Precipitation data were obtained from the U. S. Weather Bureau.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Many aquifers east of the Cascades are never full but maintain a position of equilibrium 

between recharge and discharge. The water table generally is at a considerable depth, at places 

being several hundred feet below the land surface. Precipitation available for recharge is rarely 

rejected; recharge occurs during winter and spring when precipitation is greatest and evaporation 

and transpiration demands are least. For th«.se reasons, during a wet cycle which may continue 

for a number of years, the water table will show a general rise upon which are superimposed 

the annual fluctuations. During a period of several dry years, the converse is true; the water 

table will show a general decline.

Many of the aquifers west of the Cascades are filled to overflowing every year. The water 

table, which is near the surface, generally reaches a high stage early in the rainy season; continued rainfall will hold it at that stage. The annual range of fluctuation in these aquifers is much 

greater than the range caused by cycles of wet and dry years.

Water levels in most wells in western Washington were below normal for the first 2 or 

3 months of 1955. From April to September they were above normal; at the end of the year, some 

new highs were recorded. In eastern Washington, water levels followed a similar trend but did 

not rise to normal or above until near the end of 1955.

Acknowledgments 

Measurements for Tacoma city wells are furnished by the Tacoma Water Department.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of landsubdivision. For example, in the well number 25/43-15P1, the part before the hyphen indicates 

township and range (T. 25 N., R. 43 E.) north and east of the Willamette base line and meridian. 

Because all townships in the State are north of the Willamette base line, the letter N indicating 

north is omitted. The letter E is omitted for those ranges east of the Willamette meridian, but 

W is included when the range lies west of the Willamette meridian. The first digit after the hyphen 

indicates the section (sec. 15); the letter P gives the 40-acre subdivision of the section. The last 

digit is the serial number of the well in that particular 40-acre tract. Thus, the first well recorded in the SEiSWi sec. 15, T. 25 N., R. 43 E., would have the number 25/43-15P1. (See 

page 71 for a diagram showing the 40-acre subdivision of a section.)

WYOMING

ByH. M. Babcock

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Wyoming was continued in 1955 in cooperation with the 

State Engineer and the city of Cheyenne. Measurements of water levels were made in 105 wells. 

In addition to the water-level measurements given in this report, many measurements were made 

during project studies and have been or will be published in the project reports. Figures 29-34 

show the location of observation wells.

Interpretation of Water-Level Fluctuations

Water levels fluctuate in response to precipitation, surface runoff in streams, the amount 

of water used in irrigated areas, the amount pumped from wells, and the amount of ground water 

withdrawn by plants. Water levels in surficial deposits of Quaternary age throughout most of the 

State declined during 1955, the greatest decline being about 4 feet in theWheatland Flats area, -central Platte County. However, in the Pine Bluffs area, southeastern Laramie County, water levels 

rose an average of about 2.4 feet above the 1954 stage but were still considerably lower than in 

previous years. Generally, water levels in the alluvium along the stream valleys were slightly 

lower than in 1954. Water levels begin to rise in the spring and continue to rise until irrigation 

is discontinued in the fall, reaching their peak about the end of September. In 1955, water levels 

in the alluvium along the North Platte River and the Belle Fourche River remained about the same 

as in 1954. They had declined slightly in 1954, generally less than 0. 5 foot. Water levels in 

1955 were slightly higher in the valleys of Horse Creek, Lodgepole Creek, Paintrock Creek, and 

the Green River. They were slightly lower in the valleys of the Laramie River, the Wind1 Rivei t 

Pass Creek, Bear Creek, and Owl Creek.

Water levels in deposits of Tertiary age, which supply water to most of the stock and domestic wells in the State.were at about the same stage in 1955 as in 1953 and 1954, except in local 

areas of heavy pumping. In the Cheyenne municipal well field, water levels in the Ogallala formation of Tertiary age continued to decline in 1955 but at a lesser rate than during 1954. The 

average lowering of water levels was about 4. 5 feet in 1955 compared to about 6 feet during 1954. 

In the Federal well field northeast of Cheyenne, water levels in the Brule formation of Tertiary 

age declined an average of about 35 feet during 1955, the first year that the wells were pumped. 

The wells were pumped rather heavily, about 760 million gallons from the 10 wells in the field.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management system of land subdivision. The first segment of a well number indicates the township, the second the range, and 

the third the section. The lowercase letters, a, b, c, and d, after the section number indicate 

the location of the well within the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. When more than one well is in the smallest significant tract, numbers beginning with 1 are added as suffixes. Onpagel56 there is an illustration of this method of well numbering within a section of 640 acres. Well numbers preceded 

by the capital letters A, B, C, and D designate wells in the northeast, northwest, southwest, and 

southeast quadrants, respectively, of the Wind River meridian and base line system. Well numbers not preceded by a capital letter designate wells in the sixth principal meridian and base line 

system.
