GROUND-WATER LEVELS IN

SOUTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By O. M. Hackett

Publication of records of water levels in the United States in the annual series of watersupply papers was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, 5 volumes 

were issued as Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886. From 1940 through 1955, 

6 volumes, each for a separate section of the United States as shown in figure 1, were published 

annually. The following table gives the numbers of water-supply papers by year and section.

The program begun in 1956 provides for the publication of 5 years of record in 1 volume 

for each geographic section. During a 4-year transitional period, however, 4 of the volumes 

will not contain 5 years of record, as shown in the following schedule:

North-central: 1956, 1957-61, 1962-66, etc. 

Northeastern: 1956-57, 1958-62, 1963-67, etc.

Southeastern: 1956-58, 1959-63, 1964-68, etc.

South-central: 1956-59, 1960-64, 1965-69, etc.

Northwestern: 1956-60, 1961-65, 1966-70, etc.

Southwestern: 1956-60, 1961-65, 1966-70, etc.

Moreover, beginning in 1956, only water-level data from a basic network of observation 

wells will be published. The minimum basic network provides observation wells so located that 

the most significant data are obtained from the fewest wells in the most important aquifers. In 

some States the basic network forms the skeletal index of a more comprehensive observation-well 

program. Publications that contain substantial additional water-level data are listed at the end 

of each State report in this volume.
GROUND-WATER LEVELS, 1956-58, SOUTHEASTERN STATES

Water-level measurements in this report are given in feet with reference to either mean 

sea level (msl) or land-surface datum (Isd). Mean sea level is the datum plane on which the national network of precise levels is based; land-surface datum is a precise datum plane that is approximately at land surface at each well. If known, the altitude of the land-surface datum above 

mean sea level is given in the well description. The height of the measuring point (MP) above or 

below land-surface datum is given in each well description. A plus sign (+) is placed before a 

measurement if the level is above the plane of reference. Measurements of water levels in wells 

equipped with recording gages are given for every fifth day and the end of each month (com).

In the collection of water-level data to serve the objectives of the observation-well program, the problem generally is to measure changes in water level accurately, rather than to 

determine the absolute position of the water surface. Because the measurements are made in 

many types of wells, under varying conditions of access and at different temperatures, neither 

the method of measuring nor the equipment can be standardized. At each observation well, howFigure 1. Outline map of the United States showing States included in this volume.

ever, the best possible combination of measuring technique and equipment is selected, and so 

long as it is not changed, the measurements at each well will be consistent.

Water levels are reported to as many significant figures as can be justified by the local 

conditions and the end use of the information. For example, in a measurement of a depth to water 

of several hundred feet, the error in determining the absolute value of the total depth to water 

may be a few tenths of a foot, whereas the error in determining the net change of water level between successive measurements may be only a hundredth or a few hundredths of a foot. For lesser depths to water the accuracy is greater. Accordingly, in view of the principal use to which 

the data are put, most measurements are reported to a hundredth of a foot, but some are given 

only to a tenth of a foot or a larger unit.
ALABAMA

By D. M. O'Rear

The observation-well program in Alabama was continued in 1956-58 in cooperation with 

the Geological Survey of Alabama. Additional water-level measurements for observation wells 

equipped with recording gages are published annually in the Information Series by the Geological 

Survey of Alabama. These reports include a more elaborate text with hydrographs and other 

illustrations (O'Rear and Knowles, 1955; O'Hear, 1957; O'Rear and Knowles, 1957). Figure 2 

shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well- Numbering System

Wells are designated by abbreviations derived from county names and by serial numbers. 

For example, Bal-1 is well 1 in Baldwin County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

By C. F. Essig, Jr., L. R. Mills, and C. B. Sherwood

The observation-well program in Florida begun in 1930 was continued during 1956-58 in 

cooperation with the Florida State Geological Survey, the Central and Southern Florida Flood 

Control District, the counties of Collier, Columbia, Dade, Hillsborough, Pinellas, and Polk, 

and the cities of Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Miami Beach, Naples, and Pensacola. Figure 3 

shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Number ing System

Observation wells in Florida are generally numbered serially by counties. Exceptions to 

this are wells having numbers with a letter prefix or suffix. In Broward and Dade Counties, the 

letter prefixes G, S, and F denote U. S. Geological Survey wells, supply wells, and fire wells, 

respectively. In Escambia, Orange, and Polk Counties, a letter suffix denotes a shallow well 

near a deeper well having the corresponding number without the letter suffix.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

The observation-well program was continued in 1956-58 in cooperation with the Agricultural 

and Industrial Development Board of Kentucky. Figure 7 shows the location of observation wells 

included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

The State, except for the Louisville area, has been divided into quadrangles formed by the 

5-minute meridians and parallels. Observation wells inventoried in each quadrangle are given 

numbers beginning with 1. Wells are designated by a composite of three numbers: the first 

indicates the degrees and minutes of longitude, the second the degrees and minutes of latitude, 

and the third the number of the well in that quadrangle. Thus, well 8235-3825-1 is the first well 

inventoried in the 5-minute quadrangle west of 82°35' longitude and north of 38°25' latitude.

In the Louisville area, between longitude 85° and 86° and latitude 38° and 39°, the quadrangles are bounded by 1-minute meridians and parallels. The well designation omits the degrees, using only minutes of longitude and latitude. Thus, well 50-10-2 is the second well 

inventoried in the 1-minute quadrangle west of 85°50' longitude and north of 38°10' latitude.

MARYLAND

By Claire A. Richardson

The observation-well program in Maryland was continued during 1956-58 in cooperation 

with the State Department of Geology, Mines and Water Resources. Figure 8 shows the location 

of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

All wells outside of Baltimore City are grouped by counties. Each county is divided into 

5-minute quadrangles. Each quadrangle from north to south is designated by uppercase letters 

and from west to east by lowercase letters. The wells are numbered in each 5-minute quadrangle in the order in which they were inventoried. A different well-number ing system is used 

for wells in Baltimore City. All wells within the city limits are referred to mile squares which 

are in turn referred to the Washington Monument near the center of the city. Thus well 2S5E-1 

is in the square mile that is 2 miles southland 5 miles east of the Washington Monument and is 

the first well inventoried in that square.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

MISSISSIPPI

By B. E. Wasson and J. A. Callahan

The statewide observation-well program in Mississippi begun in 1938 was continued until 

June 30, 1956, in cooperation with the State Geological Survey, and thereafter in cooperation with 

the State Board of Water Commissioners. Figure 9 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in Mississippi are listed alphabetically by counties. In each county, 

grids are designated alphabetically beginning with A in the upper left corner. The grid lines 

follow township lines, except for areas smaller than half a township. These are included with 

an adjoining township. Consecutive well numbers are used in each grid. Thus, each complete 

well number consists of the county name, the grid letter, and a numeral.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

Each well number is made up of three items, the first and second of which are separated 

by a colon, and the second and third by a hyphen. The first item represents the county in which 

the well is situated, the second is the number assigned the owner or well field, and the third 

is the number of the well itself. The first item necessitated numbering all the counties in the 

State in alphabetical order, starting with Anderson County as 1, Bedford County as 2, and so on. 

To provide for the second item, the owners or the well fields were assigned numbers in consecutive order as the wells were recorded by the U. S. Geological Survey. The third item, the number of the well, corresponds to the number assigned the well by the owner. For example, the 

number 6:102-1 indicates county 6, Bradley County; owner 182, Mr. F. G. Trewhitt; and well I, 

as numbered by the owner. The Auction Avenue well field of the Memphis Light, Gas and Water 

Division, where the water of about 100 wells flowed through tunnels into the so-called wet well, 

is field 3 in Shelby County, and the shafts that were used to inspect the tunnels and drifts of 

that field, 25 in all, have been lettered to differentiate them from the wells. (See 79:3-A.)

WEST VIRGINIA

By P. P. Bieber

The observation-well program was continued in 1956-58 in cooperation with the West 

Virginia Geological and Economic Survey. Figure 15 shows the location of wells included in 

this report.

Well-Numbering System

Observation wells in West Virginia are assigned numbers indicating their location by 

county and magisterial district. The counties have been numbered in a general southward direction. The magisterial districts within each county are numbered according to the same plan. 

Wells \7 thin the district are numbered serially. The number 9-6-27 indicates well 27 in district 

6 of county 9.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum.
