WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN'1941

Part 4. SOOTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By 0. E. MeInzer and L. K. Wenzel

The rock formations of the earth are great natural underground reservoirs In which a part of the water derived from rain and snow Is stored to 

supply wells and springs and to maintain the flow of streams during periods 

of fair weather. Water levels in wells register the stages of these natural 

reservoirs; they show the extent to which water supplies are depleted by 

drought or by heavy pumping for public waterworks, for Irrigation, or for 

industrial uses and the extent to which they are replenished^in seasons of 

abundant rainfall or melting snow. The changes in pressure recorded on flowing wells may indicate depletion or replenishment of the artesian reservoirs.

The regular publication of records of water levels and artesian pressure in the United States was begun by the Geological Survey In 1935, and 

from that year through 1939 one volume containing these data was published 

each year. The volumes were issued as Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 

845, and 886. The number of observation wells and the quantity of records 

on water levels and artesian pressure obtained from them have increased 

gradually from year to year. As a result the records for 1940 were published 

in six volumes, Water-Supply Papers 906-911,inclusive. Water-Supply Paper 

906 contains the records f6r the northeastern States, 907 for the southeastern States, 908 for the north-central States, 909 for the south-central 

States, 910 for the northwestern States," and 911 for the southwestern States 

and Hawaii. Records for 1941 are being published in six volumes also, each 

volume covering a section of the United States corresponding to that covered 

by one of the volumes containing records for 1940. (See fig. 1.) This 

series of reports is in' a sense an inventory, year by year, of the groundwater supplies of those parts of the country that are covered.

This volume covers the south-central section and gives records of water 

level or. artesian pressure In about 1,413 observation wells of the Geological 

Survey and cooperating agencies in Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.

Of these wells 33 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For

1
2 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

some wells for which records had not heretofore been published complete, 

records of water levels are given in this report, including those for years 

before 1941. For wells whqse previous records have been published, however, 

this volume gives only; current records. If complete descriptions of the 

wells were given in one of the previous reports, only the well numbers or 

the well numbers and brief identifying descriptions are given in this report. 

The report includes about 12,230 individual measurements of water level or 

artesian pressure.

The water levels in this report are given with reference to datum planes 

of different kinds. Some are given in depths below measuring point that is, 

below the recognized reference mark, at or near the top of the well, from 

which the depth to water level is usually measured; and some are given in 

height above an assumed datum plane. As the measuring points on some of 

the wells were changed in 1941, the records may not be directly comparable 

with those in previous annual volumes, but changes in measuring points are 

recorded in this report. Water levels given in height above sea level or 

above assumed datum planes are generally comparable with those igiven in the 

previous volumes. Unless otherwise stated, the depth of wells is usually 

the measured depth below the measuring point.

Acknowledgments for effective services in the preparation of this report \_

are due Miss Dorothy M. Ireland, Mrs. Roxie Lou Davis, and Mrs. Margaret P. 

Monk, who typed the offset copy; and to Rodney Hart, who prepared the illustrations and gave other assistance in preparing^ the copy.- .

GENERAL SUMMARY OP CHANGES IK GROUND-WATEB KEiELS IH 1941

IN _ THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PART OF "EHE .UNITBB -S^AtSS ^ '; 

In 1941 the .precipitation in all the south-centra-l States *as above 

normal, and in most parts of the region the water levels in wella ros» appreciably. The fluctuations of. the water letfelp and arfeeaian pressure in 

wells depend, however, on many factors besides the amount of precipitation. 

Consequently, it is usually not possible to find a simple relation between 

the changes in water level or 'artesian presgu're and the departures from 

normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly fjpom the interpretative" 

text of the several State sections in this volume.^Tnej:summarize the ? 

changes in grcnind-water levels and artesian pressure that occurred in 1941 -

in the parts of the underground reservoirs in the south-central States 

that are tapped by the observation wells.

Louisiana. The water levels in 1941 in wells in Grant, LaSalle, and

was accelerated in 1941 by increased pumpage in Alexandria and Pineville, 

and, perhaps, by the pumping of new wells at Camp Beauregard and Camp 

Livingston. The average weekly water level in well 26, near the MonrOe 

Street pumping station, In Alexandria, was 107.9 feet below the measuring point in 1941, as compared to 98.2 feet in 1940, and 96.95 feet In 

1939.

The artesian pressure in wells In St. Tammany, Tanglpahoa, and 

Livingston Parishes, recorded in the fall of 1941, was about the same as 

in the spring of 1940. Less water was required from wells for the irrigation of strawberries in 1941 than In 1940, when a deficiency of rainfall occurred In the-growing season.
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

Ground-water levels and artesian pressure In the Industrial area of 

East Baton Rouge Parish declined In the summer of 1941 below the lowest 

stages recorded In 1940, This decline was due to the increased pumping 

by expanding Industrial plants.

There was a net rise of the water levels in wells in 1941, as there 

had been In 1940, In southwestern Louisiana. This recovery was due to 

the large amount of precipitation during 1939 and 1940 growing seasons, 

which furnished a considerable supply of water for rice irrigation that 

would otherwise have been pumped from wells to flood the rice fields.

Oklahoma. Ground-water levels In the Oklahoma Panhandle continued to 

rise during 1941. Near the end of the year the weighted average of the 

water levels In wells In Beaver, CImarron, and Texas Counties was 0.63 foot 

higher than the average at the corresponding tine In 1940. It also was 

0.54 foot higher than the highest average in 1940, which was recorded in 

May.

The average of the water levels in 9 wells in the Stillwater Creek 

Basin was 6.6 feet higher on December 31, 1941, than on December 28, 1940. 

Two observation wells In Cleveland County, one a Shallow water-table well 

and the other a deep artesian well, had net rises during 1941 of 8.9 feet 

and 10.9 feet, respectively.

The average of the water levels In a group of wells tapping water in 

the alluvium along the North Canadian River had a net rise of about 4 feet 

during 1941.

Texas. In the High Plains of Texas, which cover about 35,000 square 

miles, ground-water levels rose appreciably during 1941 owing to ample rainfall and a decrease In the amount of water pumped for irrigation. The precipitation during the year was unusually heavy. t Wa,ter, levels In wells in 

the Muleshoe district were higher than they have fceen since 1936. In the 

Hereford, Plainview, Texline, and Lubbock-Littl«field districts, the 

ground-water levels rose considerably, but did not exceed the high gtjages of 

1937. In most other parts of Texas, except In heavily pumped areas, the 

water levels in wells rose during 1941, owing to the heavy precipitation.
ARKANSAS

GRAND PRAIRIE REGION 

By D. G. Thompson and R. G. Kazmann ^

Measurements of depth to water level In wells In the Grand Prairie 

region, which comprises Arkansas County, large parts of Lonoke and Prairie 

Counties, and very small parts of Jefferson and Monroe Counties, Ark., were 

continued in 1941 by cooperative agreement between the Arkansas Agricultural Experiment Station and the Federal Geological Survey. This is the 

fifteenth successive year that measurements have been made in thi's region, 

the first measurements having been made by the Federal Geological Survey, 

in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological Survey, in September 1927. 

The work of measuring the wells in 1941 was done by employees of the Agricultural Experiment Station under the general supervision of Prof. Deane G. 

Carter and his successor, Prof. E. L. Barger, and under the immediate 

direction of Kyle Engler and L. G. Carter. As in the past years, T. £T. 

Fricke, engineer of the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, has cooperated informally in the Well measurement program and in the study and interpretation of the field records.

Water-Supply Paper 777 contains records of 18 wells from the beginning 

of measurements, in 1927 or 1928, through 1935; Water-Supply Paper 840 contains the complete records of 16 additional wells; Water-Supply Paper '845 

contains the complete records of 5 additional wells; Water-Supply Paper 886 

contains complete records of 11 additional wells; Y/ater-Supply Psfper 909 

contains records of 31 additional wells; the present report contains 

measurements of all these wells made in 1941.

As stated in the earlier reports just mentioned, the trend of water 

level or artesian head in the Grand Prairie region from year to year may 

be determined by annual'measurements made once a year as late as possible 

in the spring but before pumping for rice irrigation begins. Accordingly, 

for most of the wells in most years only a single measurement, in the
6 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

spring, has been made. Measurements made in the fall, after the irrigation 

season has ended, give some suggestion as to the effects of pumping during 

the previous summer; but, because local irregularities due-to pumping during the summer have not been smoothed out, they are not so "conclusive as 

the measurements made during the following spring. For well 280, which is 

equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder, measurements are given of 

the depth to water level whenever the recorder charts were changed, which 

was generally at weekly intervals. A continuous record of the fluctuations 

of water level in this well has been obtained since August 1928.

As described in previous reports, the water level in all wells in the 

Grand Prairie region fluctuates at times as much as 0.8 foot in 24 hours 

and more than 1 foot in a few days as a result of changes in atmospheric 

pressure. To make accurate comparisons of the water level on correspond- - 

ing dates in different years, corrections for fluctuations of atmospheric 

pressure must be made by comparing the pressures, as determined from barograph records at some place nearby, at the time of measurement in successive 

years. In general, the differences in decline from place to place can be 

attributed in large part to differences in quantity of water pumped for 

irrigation In different parts of the region, except that the'greatest 

differences, which occurred In the extreme southeastern papfr of the region, 

probably are due to differences in the stage of White River.

Arkansas County

28Q, Fred Hedrich. Equipped with an automatic water-istage recorder. 

For 1941 the depths to water level whenever the recorder charts were 

changed, usually at weekly intervals, are given below. , Comparison; of the 

1941 record with previous years may be had by reference to the gra^ph of the 

lowest water level reached each day since the record«r was Installed in 

August 1928, which was published as figure 1, page*9, in Water-Supply Paper' 

840. Lowest water level in 1941 was 94.9 feet below the measuring point on 

Aug-. 17 and 21, Lowest water level in 1940 was 94.61 feet below the 

measuring point on Aug. 6. Highest wate-r level in 1941 was 89.,58 fee.t 

below the measuring point on Apr. 21 and 22. Highest water level, 'in 1940 

was 89.12.feet below the measuring point on. Ape. 17. Ike high points are 

primarily Induced by .extreme conditions of low atmospheric pressure.

LOUISIANA

By J. C. Maher and T. B. Stanley, Jr.

Observations of water levels' and artesian pressure In wells In 

Louisiana were continued In 1941 as a part of the cooperative ground-water 

Investigations by the Federal Geological Survey and the Louisiana Geological Survey. In 1941 a total of- 1,315 water-level measurements were made 

In 84 key wells In 13 parishes. These parishes are Acadla, Avoyelles, 

Calcasleu, East Baton Rouge, Evangellne, Grant, LaSalle, Llvlngston, 

Jefferson Davls, Morehouse, Rapldes, Tanglpahoa, and St. Tammany Parishes. 

Weekly measurements were made in 2 wells In Alexandria (Rapldes Parish) 

and 2 wells In Baton Rouge (East Baton Rouge Pariah), and monthly measurements were made In 14 wells In Alien, Grant, LaSalle, and Rapldes. Waterstage recorders were operated on 4 wells in .East, Baton Rouge ^Parish, 4 

wells in Rapides Parish, 2 wells In Jefferson/Davis Parish, and one well 

each In Acadla, Alien, and Calcasieu Parishes. Observations in other 

wells were made at irregular Intervals. All the observations were made by 

members of the technical staff engaged on the ground-water Investigations 

with the exception of those for well Al-29 at Elizabeth, which were- _ 

obtained through the cooperation of W. E. Emigh, of the Calcasleu Sulphate 

Paper Company. ; 

The results of ground-water investigations In Grant and LaSalle

' I/ 

Parishes were published as Geological Bulletin 20 of the Louisiana State

Department of Conservation in August 1941. In October,reporta '&& Caddo

with the national defense program. During October and November a general 

reconnaissance was made in northeastern Louisiana.

12 WATER LEVELS AMD ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

NORTHERN LOUISIANA

The observation-well program In northern Louisiana was reduced to 

measurements In on* well at Bastrop. No decline of water level was apparent In this area during this year. Reconnaissance work was carried out 

In'Ouachlta, Morehouse, Union, East Carroll, and West Carroll Parishes.

CENTRAL LOUISIANA

The general observation-well program In central Louisiana was curtailed somewhat-during 1941 because of the need for detailed work In 

certain areas,such as the U. S. Army camps near Alexandria. The waterlevel records for 4 key wells at the U. S. Array camps are Included In this 

report; several hundred additional observations on other U. S. Army wells 

are on file. A total of 604 measurements In 38 key wells In Avoyelles, 

Grant, LaSalle, and Rapldes Parishes are given In this report. Of these, 

473 were made In 26 wells In Rapldes Parish, 76 In 7 wells In Grant Parish, 

54 In 4 wells In LaSalle Parish, and one In a well In Avoyelles Parish.

The water levels of 1941 In wells In Grant, LaSalle, and Avoyelles 

Parishes, where the consumption Is very small, compared favorably with 

those of 1940. The decline of water levels near Alexandria, In Rapidee 

Parish, was accelerated In 1941 by Increased pumpage In Alexandria and 

Pinevllle and, perhaps, by the pumping of new wells at Camp Beauregard 

and Camp Llvlngston, which are located between the city of Alexandria and 

the recharge area In the Klsatchle Hills. The average weekly water level 

In well 26, near the Monroe Street pumping station, In Alexandria, was 

107.92 feet below the measuring point In 1941, as compared to 98.20 feet 

In 1940,and 96.95 feet In 1939. The average weekly water level in well 

35, near the City Park pumping station, In Alexandria, was 118.87 feet 

below the measuring point In 1941, as compared to 108.45 1$ 1940, and 

99.57 In 1939. This continued decline of wateri levels at Alexandria is 

Indicated In figure SB. Additional wells are to be drilled about 5 miles 

northwest of the city next year.

In 1941, Camp Livingston, about 9 miles north of Alexandria, and 

Camp Claiborne, about 15 miles south of Alexandria, were constructed, and 

(3amp Beauregard, 5 miles north of Alexandria, was enlarged. At present 

these camps use a total of 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 gallons of water a day 

from wells. The wells at Camp Livingston and Camp Beauregard draw upon
LOUISIANA 13.

the same sands (Catahoula) as the wells in Alexandria. Hie water levels 

at Camp Livingston have declined 50 to 150 feet in less than a year. It 

is planned to develop a surface-water supply for that camp in the near 

future and to teat the shallow Pleistocene sands. Water levels in the 

deep wells at Camp Claiborne also declined seriously until a water supply , 

was developed froin the shallow Pleistocene sand and gravel In July. The 

water levels of the shallow Pleistocene sand and gravel have not declined 

appreciably.

SOUTHEASTERN LOUISIANA

Observations of artesian pressure in St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, and 

Mvingston Parishes, made in the fall of this year, compare favorably with 

those mad© in the spring of 1940 t Less water was required from wells for 

the irrigation of strawberries this year than in 1940, when a deficiency 

of rainfall occurred in the growing ssason.

Water levels and artesian pressures in the industrial area of Bast 

Baton Rouge Parish declined in the summer of 1941 below the lowest stages 

recorded in 1940. This decline was due to the increased pumping by expanding industrial plants. The water level in well EB-15 (700 feet deep), 

reached a low stage of 194.09 feet below the measuring point on August 15, 

1941,as compared to 174.53 feet on August 23, 1940. Records on other wells 

in this area do not cover a sufficient time interval to allow comparisons, 

but it is expected that large declines will occur in all wells i*ien opera-* 

tion is begun in the new industrial plants that are now under construction.

SOUTHWESTERN LOUISIANA

Monthly water-level measurements were made in 7 wells in Jefferson 

Davis Parish, 8 wells in Acadia Parish, 3 wells in Alien Parish, and 3 

wells in Evangeline Parish. Observations were discontinued during the 

summer months,as most of the wells are pumped continuously for rice irrigation during that season. Since the recovery of the static levels in the: 

observation wells is rather'uniform after the summer pumping"ceases, the 

wells will in the future be measured only three times each year once 

immediately nfter the pumping season, once in mid-winter, and once in the 

spring just before the pumping season,when the water levels are at the

highest stage. Measurements made just before the pumping season have 

521718 O - 43 - 2
Water level, in feet below measuring point Water -level, in 

tir
LOUISIANA - r . improved to be the moat valuable ones for comparative purposes. Three waterstage' recotfdera were operated in these parishes, Observations were made in 

4 wells in Galcasleu Parish, ©ne of which^ located near Lake Ckarles, is 

equipped with a water-stage recorder.

The seasonal character of the pumping for the irrigation of r.ic* re- ' 

suits in a sharp decline of the water levels during the summer and a slow . 

recovery during the fall, winter, and spring, as is shown in figure 3A. 

The records show that there was a net rise in the water levels-in 1941, «.a 

there had been in 1940. This recovery was due to the large amount of precipitation during the 1939 and 1940 growing seasons, which furnished a 

considerable supply of water that would otherwise have been pumped from 

wells to flood the rice fields.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMESTS ""

A brief description of the work and records of the measurements "mde 

during 1938, 1939, and 1940 are contained in Water-Supply. Papers 845, 886, 

and 909. A description of each observation well, its location and measuring point is contained in,the paper in which the first measurements for 

that well are reported. These reports are indicated for each well"in the 

following records. The .letter W is used as an abbreviation for WaterSupply-Paper. All measuring points are near the land surface, and accordingly the measurements show approximately the water levels with reference 

to that surface.

Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey and the 

Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College.

Observations in the Stillwater Creek Basin, which were conducted in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service of the Department of Agriculture from June 1934 to July 1940, were continued in 1941 through the cooperation of Dr. H. J. Harper, head of the Department of Agronomy of Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, Stillwater, Okla. Dr. M. J. 

Plice, also of the Department of Agronomy, made the water-level measurements 

in the wells in 1941. A brief description of the topography and geology of 

the area was given in Water-Supply Paper 777.

Many observation wells were selected in connection with an investigation of the ground-water resources of the Oklahoma Panhandle that was begun 

in 1937 in cooperation with the Oklahoma Geological Survey, and more than 

half of the observation wells are in that part of the State. In 1939, however, water-level measurements were begun in 1 well in Cleveland County, and 

in 1940 the program was expanded by the addition of 11 observation wells 

along the North Canadian River valley, between Yukon and the Harper-Beaver 

County line. In 1941, 3 wells were added to the program, 15 were dropped 

as noted elsewhere in this report, and several were inactive.

The general geology and ground-water resources of the Panhandle were 

described in Water-Supply Papers 840 and 845, the geologic relationships of 

Cleveland County well 1 were described in Water-Supply Paper 886, and the 

North Canadian River valley was described in Water-Supply Paper 909. Al- 

.though the wells added in 1941 do not materially increase the area covered 

by the observation-well program, another aquifer is included. Cleveland 

County well 2 taps water in the so-called Ga'rber sandstones, of Permian age,

which furnish water under artesian pressure in a large area in central

^

OKLAHOMA 35

Oklahoma. These sandstones, which are lenticular and interbedded with 

shales, yield water of good quality from a zone 200 to 400 feet in thickness 

and from maximum depths of 600 to 800 feet below the surface. Several municipalities, industries, and public institutions use the water.

Water-level measurements were made in 1941 in 129 wells, of which 38 

are in Beaver County, 2 in Blaine County, 5 in Canadian County, 23 in Cimarron County, 2 in Cleveland County, 1 in Harper County, 14 in Payne County, 

44 in Texas County, and 3 in Woodward County.

Most of the observation wells in the Panhandle (Beaver, Cimarron, and 

Texas Counties) were measured 4 times during the year, in January, MarchApril, June-July, and October-November, but 2 Beaver County wells were* 

measured more frequently. The number of measurements in individual wells 

ranged from 1 to 9. The wells near Supply (Woodward County 3) and Laverne 

(Harper County 1) were measured 5 and 6 times, respectively, during the 

year. Observation wells along the North Canadian River were measured In 

January, March, May, July, August, September, October, and November. Cleveland County well 1 was measured at intervals ranging from 1 day to 3$ weeks, 

depending on the precipitation and the rate of change of the water level. 

Measurements were made in Cleveland County well 2 at intervals ranging from 

1 to 2 weeks between February 8, and April 25, and approximately monthly 

thereafter. Water-level measurements in the observation wells of the Stillwater Creek Area (Payne County) were made monthly.

A total of 694 measurements was made in 1941, of which 143 were made 

in Beaver County, 16 in Blaine County, 26 in Canadian County, 80 in Cimarron County, 85 in Cleveland County, 6 in Harper County, 153 in Payne County, 

162 in Texas County, and 23 in Woodward County. In addition to these 

periodic measurements, an automatic water-stage recorder of the float type 

was maintained on Beaver County well 528 from the beginning of the year 

through October 29, when it was removed. Weekly tape measurements were 

made in the well thereafter.

The ground-water investigation in Beaver County was continued in 1941 

by a plane-table party that obtained elevations^ in feet above sea level, 

of the measuring points at most of the wells included in the general well 

inventory of the county. Preparation of a report en the ground-water resources of Cimarron County was nearly completed in 1941, and an intensive 

investigation of the ground-water resources of the North Canadian River 

valley upstream from Oklahoma City was begun late in July.
36 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS IN THE PANHANDLE

The average of the water levels in each of the counties in the Oklahoma Panhandle is weighted according to the relative areal importance of 

the aquifers represented by the observation wells. These aquifers are the 

Ogallala formation, which furnishes most of the ground water in the areas 

of upland plains; the alluvium, which furnishes water to wells along the 

main streams; and the Permian red beds, which furnish water where the other 

aquifers are impervious, thin, or absent. The Dakota-sandstone apparently 

furnished water to a few wells in the western part of Cimarron County, and 

probably is represented by one or more of the observation wells, which are 

averaged with wells tapping water in the Ogallala formations.

The average for the Panhandle as a whole is the average of the weighted 

averages for the three counties. These counties are not equal in area, but 

the differences between them are small enough so that they can be neglected 

in averaging. Between late November 1940 and late January 1941, the average 

for the Panhandle declined somewhat, but subsequent measurements showed a 

steady rise, and the average for October 27-November 17, 1941, was 0.63 

foot higher than the average for November 1940. It also was 0.54 foot higher than the highest average of a previous year, which had been recorded in 

May 1940.

In Beaver County, the weighted average of the water levels in all of 

the wells was 0.88 foot higher on October 27-28, 19^41, than on November SI22, 1940, chiefly because of large rises in wells ta'pping water in the alluvium. The average for such wells was 3.04 feet higher on October 27-28" 

than the highest of any previous year on record. Water levels in wells on 

the uplands of the northwestern part of the county, where the Ogallala is 

the principal aquifer, continued the upward trend that has been in progress, 

with only minor interruptions, since the beginning of the record, and on 

October 27-28, 1941, the average was 0.64 foot higher than the average for 

November 1940. In the southern and eastern parts of the county, where many 

wells tap water in the red beds, the average of the water levels was 0.31 

foot higher on October 27 than it was late in November 1940, but was 0.20 

foot below the record high level, which was recorded in September 1938.

Water levels in the observation wells in Cimarron County rose, 

substantially in 1941. The weighted average for all the wells measured 

in the county was 0.85 foot higher in November 1941 than in November 1940, 

and 0.59 foot higher in November 1941 than in May 1940, the previous
OKLAHOMA 37

record high level. As in the other Panhandle counties, the water levels 

in wells tapping the alluvium showed the greatest rise, the average for 

November being 3.04 feet higher than that for September 1958, when the 

highest level for a previous year was recorded, and 4.46 feet higher than 

the average of November 1940. The water levels in the wells on the upland 

flats, which tap water in the Ogallala formation and locally in the Dakota 

sandstone, averaged 0.45 foot higher in November 1941 than in November 

1940, and 0.20 foot higher than the previous record high level of May 1940.

The ground-water levels showed less response to the heavy precipitation of 1941 in Texas County than in the other Panhandle counties. Since 

the beginning of the record, the average of the water levels has ranged 

through only 0.22 foot. The average for November 1941 was only Q.16 foot 

above that for November 1940, and only 0.09 foot above the record high 

level for a previous year, which had been reached in September 1939. As 

"in the other counties, the greatest rise was recorded in wells tapping 

water in the alluvium, the average in November 1941 being 1.43 feet higher 

than the average in November 1940, but only 0.15 foot above the previous 

record high of May 1940. The average of water levels in wells tapping the^ 

Ogallala formation reached a new high level late in March 1941, but this 

was only 0.03 foot above the previous -record high level. The average in 

November 1941 for this group of wells was only 0.09 foot higher than that 

in early December 1940. In the one red bed well that is measured in Texas 

County, the water level of November 1941 was 0.03 foot higher than the 

level recorded December 5, 1940, but 0.19 foot below the highest level for 

the well.

The following tables present average water levels, in feet above., 

datum planes, for groups of wells in each county, weighted averages for 

each county, and averages for the Panhandle as a whole in 1941. These 

averages are the continuation of those given in similar tables in WaterSupply Paper 909, and were used in the preparation of fhe accompanying 

hydrographs.

WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS IN THE STILLWATER CREEK BASIN 

Previously, the "average water level" for the Stillwater Creek 

Basin has been obtained from the records of wells l-4 r 7-9, 11-13, 15,, 

and 17, but in the last year or two measurements in well 8 have been 

discontinued because the well is in use and any water level obtained in 

it is likely to be drawn down a variable distance below the normal water 

table; well 9 is used occasionally, and well 11 has been dry frequently.

a Weighted average in which wells in northwestern part of county " 

represent 65 percent of the total area; wells in southeastern pdft, 25 

percent; and wells in alluvium, 10 percent.

b Weighted average: Upland wells in the Ogallala formation, 93 

percent; alluvium, 5 percent; red beds (Permian to Jurassic ?), 2 percent.

c Weighted average: Upland wells in Ogallala and Dakota, 90 percent; 

alluvium wells, 10 percent.

d Average of figures in first 3 columns.
OKLAHOMA 39

At times the irregularities due to the omission or inclusion of one or 

more of these wells have been considerable, and the original group is ~ 

therefore no longer fully satisfactory. A comparison of the averages 

obtained with and without these 3 wells showed that omission of them 

would have relatively little effect on the hydrograph for 1941, however, 

and they have therefore been omitted.

The average- of the water levels in the 9 reliable wells was 6.6 feet 

higher on December 31, 1941, than on December 28, 1940. The lowest water 

levels for the year were recorded on January 27-28, when the average was 

7.56 feet above the datum planes. A new record high level was set May 

29-51, only to be broken on November 2-3, when the average was 15.49 feet 

above the datum planes.

During the period of record,beginning in 1934, the water levels in 

the wells in the Stillwater Creek Basin have responded rather promptly to 

precipitation, generally showing significant rises after rains. This 

effect is illustrated by figure 4, in which a hydrograph showing the 

average of the water levels is compared with the cumulative departure from 

normal precipitation. The departure is computed beginning with the year 

1931, which was about the beginning of a succession of dry years. Although 

much of the accumulated deficiency in precipitation remained at the end of 

1941, the ground water reached new high levels. This fact suggests that 

under drought conditions the water table declines rather rapidly at first, 

but reaches a level below which it declines only very slowly (unless 

affected by pumping), even though the drought is long continued. The 

accumulated deficiency in precipitation need not be entirely made up before

the water table rises to high levels.

\ 

WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS IK CLEVELAND COUNTY

The water-level measurements in Cleveland County have shown clearly 

the effects of the heavy precipitation of 1941, but the 2 wells have 

responded quite differently. Well 1 is on a terrace about 50 feet above 

the Canadian River bottoms> and is about 24.5 feet deep. During 1941 the 

water level varied through a vertical range of 11.76 feet and showed large 

and rapid rises following many of the snows and heavy rains beginning late 

in February. It reached a peak level only about.1 foot below the land

well to cause the exceptionally high levels, a 2-inch auger hole was bored 

about 8.6 feet from the well. This penetrated wet sandy clay from the 

surface to a depth of 6.2 feet, at which point water first stood in the 

well. The sandy clay continued to a depth of 11.5 feet, where a hard 

material was encountered which could not be picked up in the auger and 

which was probably the shale bed rock. During the boring of the last 3 

or 4 feet, the water rose rapidly, and after 24 hours it stood at a level 

closely comparable to the water lev£L in the observation well. The water 

level in this test hole closely paralleled the water level in the observation well for more than a month (fig. 5 ), and it is therefore probable 

that the water level in the latter was fairly representative of the water 

table at that locality, even at exceptionally high stages. -The water 

level in the observation well declined from June until October, and then 

rose sharply in response to the extremely heavy October precipitation, 

reaching a level nearly equal to the record for June. On December 6, 

1941, the water level stood 8.87 feet above the level of December 7, 1940.

Well 2, which is 267 feet deep, taps artesian water in the so-called 

Garber sandstones at a point a little over a mile from the outcrop of the 

top of the sandstones. The water level in this well showed no significant 

fluctuation until about the middle of April, when it began to rise slowly 

from a level about 167 feet below the land surface. This rise continued 

into July and was followed by a slight decline that lasted until late 

August. The first measurement in September showed a sharp rise of about 

6.9 feet, and was followed by a gradual rise that lasted into December. 

The record of this well, although short, indicates that a lag of several 

weeks occurs before precipitation on the outcrop of the sands affects the 

water level in the well. The net rise in the water level in this well 

between March 9, 1941, the date of the lowest level, and December 6, 1941, 

was 10.94 feet.

WATER-LEVEL FLUCTUATIONS ALONG THE NORTH CANADIAN RIVER 

Water levels in the observation wells along the North Canadian River 

fluctuated widely in 1941, partly because of the heavy precipitation and 

partly because of floods in the river. On several occasions the measurements were made near the crest of a flood, and water levels in the wells

correspondiagly high* As only an automatic water-stage recorder eould

OKLAHOMA - 43

have recorded all of the fluctuations of water level In the wells"close to 

the river bank, It is apparent that the record is very incomplete, but It 

does suggest the amplitude of the fluctuations.

The record made by the automatic water-stage recorder on Beaver County 

well 528, which Is about 1,700 feet from the channel, showed a slow, steady 

rise of about 0.25 foot per month between January 1 and May 4, when effects 

of heavy rains and high floods in the river began to appear. New peak 

levels were reached in May, June, and July 15.3O feet below the measuring 

point on May 24, 15.25 feet on June 3, and 12.11 feet on July 6. Thereafter the water level declined rather steadily until about September 20, 

when some small rises occurred. The October rains sent the water level up 

again, and on October 31 it nearly equaled the record of July 6. Prom 

this peak the water level declined, and on December 26 it stood 14.68 feet 

below the measuring point a level 5.29 feet'higher than the stage at the 

beginning of the year.

The average water levels, in feet above datum planes, fop the 

observation wells In the alluvium along the river, are given in the table 

below. The averages were obtained from all the measurements available for 

any given date, and are not strictly comparable because the same, wells 

could not always be measured. At times it was impracticable to measure 

the more distant wells in the Panhandle, some wells were washed out late 

In the year, and at times some were inaccessible because of flooding. It 

is estimated that, on the average, the water levels In wells within a 

quarter of a mile of the river rose about 4 feet between November 1940 and 

November 1941.

PRECIPITATION

The precipitation in Oklahoma in 1P41 was more than 14 inches above 

the 50-year average for the State. Only in 1908 was the precipitation 

greater. ' March was the driest month, when the precipitation was more

than an inch below the average for that month. In October, which was the

2/ wettest month, the State received 8.41 inches more than the average. '

The precipitation at 6 stations in the Panhandle in 1941 ranged from 

25.68 inches at Guymon, to 36.56 inches at Kenton, and averaged 31.86 inches, 

This was about 15 inches above the normal annual precipitation In the 

area. Departures at individual stations ranged from 8.83 inches above 

normal at Goodwell to 19.93 inches above normal at Boise City.

For the same period the precipitation at 8 stations along the North 

Canadian Valley from Oklahoma City to Supply, ranged from 35.35 inches at 

Supply to 55.10 inches at Mutual. The annual departures at six of these 

stations ranged from 6.88 inches above the normal at Ft. Reno, to 31.24 

inches above the normal at Mutual, and averaged about 15.5 inches above 

normal.

In Cleveland County observation well 1 is about half way between 

Oklahoma City and Norman, but well 2 is closer to Norman than to Oklahoma 

City. In 1941 the average of the precipitation at these two cities was 

about 49 inches, which was about 17 inches above the normal.

The precipitation at Stillwater in 1941 was 43.68 inches, which is 

9.85 inches above normal.

WATER-LEVEL RECORDS

The records of water-level measurements on the following pages are 

listed alphabetically by counties and in numerical order within the 

counties. References to the original descriptions of the wells and bench 

marks are given for each county. Changes in measuring points have been 

noted in the water-level summaries for the year in which they occurred, 

but may be ignored unless the reader wishes to make field measurements of 

his own. The water levels as reported have all been referred to the 

original measuring point, so that the record is continuous.

Well 612 is described for the first time on a following page- The 

original descriptions for all other Beaver County observation wells appeared 

in Water-Supply Paper 845, and all bench marks at wells were described in 

Water-Supply Paper 886 with the exception of the bench mark for well 528, 

which is described in this report.

Observation-well measurements have been discontinued as follows: In 

1939 (Water-Supply Paper 886), well 521; in 1940 (Water-Supply Paper 909), 

wells 61, 461, 525, and 766; in 1941 (this paper), wells 81, 256, 416, 431, 

446, 578, 611, and 618.

s

Significant rises of water level occurred in 1941 in the following 

wells: No. 432, which is in a shallow draw that carries water only after 

heavy rains; Nos. 528 and 573, which tap water in the alluvium along the 

North Canadian (Beaver) River; No. 523, which taps water in the alluvium 

along Clear Creek, a tributary of the North Canadian River; Nos. 648 and 

649, which are shallow wells beside an ephemeral creek in the lowland 

southeast of Forgan; Ho. 777, which is a shallow well in a broad lowland 

northeast of Porgan; and No. 613, which is in a lowland west of Porgan and 

taps water in the Ogallala formation.

Well 767 is especially noteworthy because of a persistent rise of 

water level that has been in progress, with only minor interruptions, since 

November 1938. The total rise in this well since that time has been 5.44 

feet; the rise in the past year was 2.71 feet. The well is on the upland 

north of Porgan, and the rise of water' level may indicate that recharge 

occurs through an area of rather obscure dunes that lie to the west,

On the other hand, the water level in well 464 has declined persistently, and on October 28, 1941, it was 2.64 feet lower -than when measurements 

were begun on August 5, 1938.

Canadian County

The original descriptions of the observation wells and of the bench

the exception of well 5, which is described below, for the first time. 

After the March measurement well 4 disappeared, probably having been pulled 

out. Well 3 was washed out by a flood late in October. It is expected 

that these 2 wells will be replaced by new wells at approximately the same 

sites.

Cimarron County

The original descriptions for most of the observation wells in 

Cimarron County appeared in Water-Supply Paper 845. Wells 129, 219, 237, 

275, 596,and 528 were added in 1939 and were first described in WaterSupply paper 886. Wells "66 and 436 were redescribed in this sane paper 

because significant changes had been made at the wells. Well 500 was 

first described in Water-Supply Paper 909. Bench marks have been established close to 'most of the wells, and are described in Water-Supply Paper 

886, except the one for well 500, which is described in Water-Supply Paper 

909.

Observation-well measurements have been discontinued as follows: In 

1940 (Water-Supply Paper 909), wells 219, 274, 309, and 384; in 1941 (this 

paper), wells 282, 528, and 398.

Significant rises of water levels occurred in 1941, as follows: A 

rise of 3.35 feet in well 148, which is on the flood plain of the North 

Canadian River but back from the channel; 0.68 foot in well 237, and 2.58 

feet in well 313, both of which are close to ephemeral ponds; and 0.63 

foot in well 436, which is an upland well and apparently taps water only 

in the red beds underlying the Ogallala. Also significant is the fact 

that the water level in this well has risen 2.58 feet since January 23, 

1940.

On the other hand, the water level in well 223, which is on the 

upland near Mexhoma, declined 4.65 feet between January 23 and November 

16. This is much the largest fluctuation that has been recorded for the 

well since measurements were begun in July 1938. As the well was 

reported to have been out of repair and not pumped beginning about -July 1, 

the decline was apparently not due to pumping. The November water level 

in this well was not used in computing the average for the county.

The original descriptions for moat of tine observation wells In Texas 

County appeared In Water-Supply Paper 840. Wells added to the program In 

1938 and first described in Water-Supply Paper 845 are numbers 167, 172, 

182, 270, 286, 294, 307, 323, 325, 436, 446, and 487. Wells added to the 

program in 1939 and first described In Water-Supply Paper 886 are numbers 

125, 130, 138, 188, 284, and 308. Bench marks have been established close v 

to most of the wells and are described In Water-Supply Paper 886.

Observation-well measurements have been discontinued as follows: in 

1938 (Water-Supply Paper 886), wells 235 and 369} In 1940 (Water-Supply Paper 

.909), wells 307, 618, and 661; In 1941 (this paper), wells 60, 72, and 507.

The records of several of the wells appear to be especially significant. 

In well 487, which Is beside an ephemeral pond, the water level rose 2.39 

feet between November 1940 and November 1941, but In wells 85 and 446,

which are similarly situated, little change in water level occurred. Well

STATE-WIDE PROJECT

By R. W. Sundstrom

Measurements of water levels and artesian pressure in observation 

wells in Texas have been made since 1929 by the Federal Geological Survey 

in cooperation with the Texas State Board of Water Engineers. Prior to 

June 22, 1941, the measurements in Loving, Reeves, and Ward Counties, in 

the Pecos Elver Basin, were made in cooperation with the Red Bluff Water 

Power Control District in connection with the Pecos River Joint Investigation. Since June 22, 1941, the measurements have been made in cooperation 

with the Texas State Board of Water Engineers. In El Paso County the 

measurements have been made in cooperation with the city of El Paso.

During 1941 a total of about 10,000 measurements were made in about 

1,100 wells in 66 Texas counties. Water-stage recorders were maintained 

on 22 wells in selected areas to obtain continuous recqrds of the fluctuation of the water level. In some parts of the State water-level measurements were made at intervals of a month or less, but in most places the 

period between measurements ranged from 3 to 12 months.

Water-level measurements made before 1941 are published in Water-Supply 

Papers 777, B17, 840, 845, 886, and 909.

RAINFALL

Precipitation in Texas was very heavy in 1941. According to records 

of the United States Weather Bureau, the average precipitation for the 

stations in the State was 45.53 inches. This average is 14.58 inches above 

the mean average and has been exceeded only once in 53 years.

Excessive precipitation was reported at all except five of the 

weather stations. In the western part of the State, west of the 101st 

meridian, the average rainfall was 33.84 inches 16.90 inches above the 

mean; in the middle area, between the 101st and the 97th meridians, the 

average was 39.59 inches 12.20 inches above the meanj and in the eastern 

section, east of the 97±h meridian, the average was 55.35 Inches 13.44

inches above the mean.

The precipitation recorded at the different stations ranged considerably with respect to average. In the western section of the State, the 

departures from mean average, although all positive, ranged from 3.27 inches 

to 26.43 inches. In the middle section, 3 stations reported departures 

below average; the departures at other stations, which were all positive, 

ranged from 2.39 to 31.25 inches. In the eastern section 2 stations reported below-average precipitationj the others had positive departures 

ranging from 1.53 to 32.14 inches.

BALCONES FAULT ZONE

The observation wella in the Balcones fault zone are in Bexar, Comal, 

Guadalupe, Hays, Kinney, Travis, Uvalde, Val Verde, and Williamson Counties. 

Most of the wells tap water in the Edwards limestone, which supplies large 

springs along the escarpment from Del Rio to Austin, irrigation wells in 

Bexar and Uvalde Counties, and public and industrial wells at San Antonio 

and smaller cities. Water enters the Edwards limestone in its outcrop along 

the Balcones escarpment and on the Edwards Plateau. Many of the Edwards 

limestone observation wells are artesian, and the water level in many of 

them rises quickly after heavy rains on the outcrop area.

\)wing to large differences in the amount of rainfall over the intake 

area, the fluctuations of the water level in different wells varied widely 

in 1941. In the northern section of the fault zone, in Williamson, Travis, 

Hays, Comal, and Bexar Counties, the water levels in general were high. 

Although the precipitation at San Antonio was below average, the rainfall 

to the north and northwest on the outcrop area was above average, causing 

the artesian pressure in the San Antonio area to be high. AB accompanying 

illustration shows the fluctuations of water level In a well at the Beverljf 

Lodges in San Antonio. The water level in the well rose from a very low 

stage in 1940 to a very high stage in the spring of 1941. Most of the 

water levels in wells immediately west of Bexar County, in Medina and Uvalcle 

Counties, were higher than they were in 1940. The precipitation west of 

pan Antonio diminished toward Del Rio. In Kinney and Val Verde Counties 

the water levels were as low or lower than they were in 1940.
TEXAS 63

SOUTHWEST TEXAS

Dimait and Zavala Counties! The Mnter Garden district. For the last 

22 years much land has been irrigated in the Winter Garden district. About! 

22,000 acres were irrigated in 1937-38, the period covered by the last inventory. Nearly all the water used for irrigation is derived from the 

Carrizo sand, which crops out in a belt about one to seven miles wide, extending across the western part of Dimmit County, the western and northern 

parts of Zavala County, and parts of eastern Maverick and southern Uvalde 

Counties. The sand on the average is about 200 feet thick and dips generally east and southeast. The belt in which it can be reached within a 

depth of 1,000 feet is about 15 miles wide.

On the outcrop of the Carrizo sand, water levels in the observation 

wells, all of which are"remote from heavy pumping, show relatively little 

seasonal or yearly fluctuation and have changed only slightly during the 

past 12 years. In areas down the; dip, where pumping has been heavy, the 

range of fluctuation of the water levels is, however, considerable. Heavy 

rains in April and May 1941 furnished sufficient water for crops so that 

only very little irrigation was necessary; as a result, the water levels in 

the observation wells remained high throughout the year. The accompanying 

illustration shows the fluctuations of water level in two typical observation wells in the Winter Garden district. Well M3-21 is on the outcrop 

area,where the fluctuations are small; well N5-55 is situated down the dip 

of the Carrizo sand,where the fluctuations are large.

Duval County. An average decline in water level of 0.2 foot occurred 

in 42 wells In Duval County between February 1940 and February 1941. The 

precipitation was above normal in 1941, but most of it occurred after the 

water-level measurements were made in February, and, therefore, the effect 

of the heavy precipitation is not shown.

Brooks County. The average of water levels in 22 observation wells in 

Brooks County was 0.1 foot lower in February 1941 than in February 1940. 

Above-average precipitation occurred in the county after the February 

Jneasurements in 1941.

Kleberg County. Ground-water levels in Kleberg County have declined 

persistently since 1904. The decline in 1940 and 1941, however, was less 

than in previous years. In 22 observation wells the water level declined 

an average of 0.3 foot} in 8 wells the water level rose from 0.4 foot to 

l.s'feet.

SOUTHEAST TEXAS

Wharton County. The water levels in 13 wells rose an average of 1.7 

feet from March 1940 to March 1941. This rise contrasts with an average 

decline of 1.1 feet in the corresponding period of 1939-40. The precipitation in 1941 was about 13 inches above average.

Jackson County. The water levels in 18 wells in Jackson County had an 

average rise of 1,7 feet from March 1940 to March 1941. Precipitation at 

Edna during 1941 was 21.82 inches above average.

Matagorda County. Near Palacios, where heavily pumped wells are near 

the observation wells, the water level in one observation well declined 2.9 

feet and the water level in another well declined 4.1 feet from March 1940 

to March 1941. However, in an observation well that is rather remote from 

the influence of pumping, there was a rise of 2.5 feet. In 1941, precipitation in Matagorda County was above average.

Houston-Galveston and adjacent region. The following discussion of

pumping in the Houston area and of the decline in water levels is taken

I/ 

in part from a recent report;

"Rainfall. The rainfall in most of Texas was unusually heavy during 

the year ending November 1, 1941. According to the records of the United 

States Weather Bureau, the rainfall for this period at Houston amounted to 

72.32 inches, or about 60 percent more than the average for 60 years. At 

Hempstead, about 50 miles northwest of Houston, it was 79.48 inches or 

about twice the average for 50 years. At Conroe, about 40 miles north of 

Houston, it was 87.06 inches or about 80 percent above the average for 23 

years. The rainfall during the summer months, April to September inclusive, 

in 1941 was 37.02 inches at Houston, 29.98 inches at Hempstead, and 38.91 

inches at Conroe. Because of the abnormally high rainfall the requirements 

for watering lawns and gardens and for industrial cooling during the summer 

were much less than usual and only about half as much' water as usual was 

used for rice irrigation. « « «

"Summary. « « « The pumpage in the Houston and Pasadena areas during 

1941 averaged about 78,000,000 gallons a day, or about 1,000,000 gallons a 

day less than in 1940. The reduction was due to a marked decline in the 

demands for water during the summer, resulting from the abnormally heavy 

rainfall. Although the water levels in the observation wells were materially lower in the spring of 1941 than in the spring of 1940, the net decline 

during the calendar year 1941 was small as compared with the decline during 

each of the four calendar years 1937 to 1940, inclusive. The lessening in 

the rate of decline is attributed to the fact that the water levels were 

not lowered as much as usual during the summer of 1941.

"In the Katy area the pumpage during 1941 was approximately one-half 

as much as in 1940, averaging about 23,000,000 gallons a day. Although 

there was a decline in the water levels between the spring of 1940 and the 

spring of 1941 there was a small aVerage net rise during the calendar year 

1941, due to the reduction in pumpage and to recharge from the heavy rains.

"Most of the water table wells in the outcrop area of the water-bearing 

sands along the Hempstead and Conroe highways showed a rise in water levels 

in 1941. The area is too far away, however, for the rise to appreciably 

affect the water levels in the Houston and Pasadena wells. * * *"________

The accompanying Illustrations show the fluctuations of water level in 

four typical observation wells in Houston from 1931 through 1941.

Throughout Qalveston County, the water levels continued to decline, 

due to the heavy pumping in the area.

EAST TEXAS

Angelina and Hacogdoches Counties.--Due to heavy pumping for industrial purposes in the vicinity of Lufkin during the year, water levels declined 

in deep wells tapping the Carrizo sand in Angelina and Hacogdoches Counties. 

The amount of decline varied with the distance of the observation wells 

from the centers of pumping. The accompanying illustration shows the 

fluctuation of water levels in three wells; one well (113A) about seven 

miles northeast of Hacogdoches, is beyond the influence of heavy pumpingj 

and two wells (168 and 169) are in Angelina County near heavy industrial 

pumping at Lufkin.

HIGH PLAIHS

The High Plains in Texas occupy an area of about 35,000 square miles, 

extending from the north boundary of the Panhandle southward about 300 

miles, and from the Hew Mexico State line eastward an average distance of 

about 120 miles to a boundary that is sharply defined in most places by a 

bold escarpment several hundred feet high.

Irrigation from wells in the High Plains in Texas was started near 

Plainyiew, Hereford, and Muleshoe about 30 years ago. Estimates of the 

total number of wells pumped and the total amount of land irrigated from 

them since 1937 are as follows: 1937, 1,150 wells pumped and 160,000 acres 

irrigated} 1938, 1,500 wells pumped and 200,000 acres irrigated; 1939, 

1,700 wells pumped and 230,000 acres irrigated; 1940, 2,100 wells pumped 

and 280,000 acres irrigated. In 1941 about 380 new wells were drilled. It 

is estimated that the total amount of water used in 1940 was probably about

190,000 acre-feet and that the amount used in 1941 was probably about

2/3/ 

50,000 acre-feet.______________________________________________

The large decline in the amount of water used for irrigation and the 

heavy rainfall caused the ground-water levels on the High Plains t6 rise 

considerably, especially in areas where heavy pumping has been in progress. 

Water levels in the Muleshoe district were higher than they have been since 

1936. In the Hereford, Plainview, Texline, Imd Lubbock-Littlefield districts, the water levels rose considerably but are still much below the 

levels observed in 1937, before the large expansion in irrigation started 

in the High Plains.

WEST TEXAS

Loving. Reeves, and Ward Counties. The principal water-bearing formations in this area are the Rustler limestone of Permian age; sandstones of 

Triassic age; limestones and sandstones of lower Cretaceous age; and conglomeratic alluvial deposits of sand and gravel, that have been subdivided 

by geologists into older alluvium and younger alluvium.

Although it is rather highly mineralized, some water from the Rustler 

limestone is usable for stock and irrigation purposes. The cities of Pecos 

and Barstow, and several industrial plants and oil fields in east-central 

Ward County, obtain water from the Triassic sandstones. Limestones and 

sandstones of lower Cretaceous age supply the large springs known as San 

Solomon and phantom Lake, in southeastern Reeves County, and Santa Rosa, 

Comanche, and Leon Springs,in Pecos County. The water from ttoe springs is 

used to irrigate approximately 16,000 acres of land.

The older alluvium is believed to have been deposited in depressions 

of various sizes resulting from the solution of soluble rocks in underlying 

formations older than the Rustler. The alluvium is more than 1,500 feet 

in some places, but it thickens and thins rapidly within short distances. 

The Pecos artesian aquifer, which is made up of one to several beds of sand 

and gravel of this older alluvium, contains highly mineralized water and 

extends several miles west and southwest of Pecos. Much of the irrigation 

in the vicinity of Pecos depends on water contained in this alluvium. In 

1940, about 11,000 acre-feet of water was used to irrigate about 2,460 acres

of land near Pecos.

«&

The younger alluvium, averaging 25 feet or less in thickness, underlies the Pecos River flood plain and the lower terraces. In most places it 

is sather permeable and rapidly absorbs water applied for irrigation.
70 WATER LEVELS-AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1941

Since July 1941 the depth to water level In about 80 selected observation wells In the area has been measured periodically. The depth to water 

In 10 of the wells had been measured at Intervals in 1930, 1931, and 1932. 

In an area near Pecos where the wells generally have a flow, periodic 

measurements of artesian pressure were made on 14 selected observation 

wells. These measurements started late In 1939. At the middle of December 

1941 the artesian pressures ranged from 1.50 to 2.55 feet higher than they 

were In November and December 1939.
