SOUTH-CENTRAL 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, 617, 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, 1956-59, SOUTH-CENTRAL STATES

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

sea level (msl) or land-surf ace 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-surf ace datum 

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

above or below land-surf ace 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 measurement nor the equipment can be standardized. At each observation well,

however, 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.

Measurements were made under the direction of the district supervisors of the Ground 

Water Branch in the several States.

Joy L. Char bonne au was responsible for the compilation of the report.
ARKANSAS

By Joe Edds, J. W. Stephens, and Guy A. Bearden, Jr.

The observation-well program in Arkansas was continued in 1956 through 1959 in cooperation with the Arkansas Geological and Conservation Commission, the State Agricultural Experiment Station, and the Federal Land Bank of St. Louis. Special acknowledgment is due Professor 

Kyle Engler, Head, Department of Agricultural Engineering, University of Arkansas, who assisted 

in well measurements. Figures 2 and 3 show the location of observation wells included in this 

report.

Well-Numbering System

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

subdivision. The first digit of the well number 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 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 letiers are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, starting in the northeast quarter. Thus, well 2S4W-lldbbl is the first well listed 

in the northwest 10-acre tract of the southeast quarter of sec. 11, T. 2 S., R. 4 W.

Water-Level Measurements 

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

Scope of Water-Level Program

The observation-well program in Louisiana was continued during 1956 through 1959 in cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Public Works and the Louisiana Geological Survey, 

Department of Conservation. Water-level measurements were made in 104 wells in 39 parishes 

during 1959 as part of this program. Continuing measurements were made in 33 wells equipped 

with recording gages. These provide a record of long-term water-level fluctuations in the principal aquifers of the state. Figures 4, 5, and 6 show the location of observation wells included 

in this report.

Numerous water-level measurements in the many other wells that are included in the 

statewide network of observation wells are available in the Louisiana District Office at Baton 

Rouge.

Well Location and Numbering System

The observation wells are listed alphabetically by parishes and numerically within each 

parish. Each well number consists of one or more letters of the parish name and a serial number; for example, Ac-40 is the 40th well in Acadia Parish.

Water-Level Measurements 

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

OKLAHOMA

By Donald L. Hart, Jr.

The observation-well program in Oklahoma was continued from 1956 through June 30, 1957, 

in cooperation with the Oklahoma Planning and Resources Board, from July 1, 1957 through 1959 

with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, and from 1956 to June 30, 1958, with the Oklahoma 

Geological Survey. Measurements were made at 854 well sites on a periodic basis; 15 of these 

well sites were equipped with automatic water-level recorders. Forty-eight wells from this 

group have been chosen to compose the Federal observation-well network; water-level recorders 

have been operated on 5 of these wells. Figures 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 show the location of the 

wells for which water-level data are given in this report.

Well Location and Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the township system of the General Land Office. 

The first digit of the well number indicates the township, the second the range, and the third the 

section in which the well is situated. Where several wells are recorded in the same section, 

serial numbers are added after the section number to distinguish one from another.

Water-Level Measurements 

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

TEXAS

By Clarence R. Follett

The observation-well program in Texas, begun in 1929 in cooperation with the Texas Board 

of Water Engineers, has been expanded from year to year. Herein are records of 691 selected 

wells in 104 counties in Texas. Figures 12 and 13 show the location of observation wells included in this report.

Acknowledgments

The Houston Lighting & Power Co. made measurements in Harris County well 1170. The 

Southland Paper Mills, Inc., furnished part of the measurements for wells in Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties. The High Plains Underground Water Conservation Dist. No. 1 assisted in the 

measurements made in Castro, Cochran, Deaf Smith, Lubbock, and Lynn Counties.

Well-Numbering System

Three well-numbering systems have been used in Texas: (1) wells numbered consecutively 

beginning with 1 in the upper left corner and progressing back and forth across the county map; 

(2) a grid system using a letter and a number to identify the grid in each county, followed by 

consecutive well numbers; and, (3) a grid system for each county using a letter alone to identify 

the grid, followed by consecutive well numbers. The well-numbering system has been changed 

from system 1 to system 3 in some areas when the county was restudied. The segment in parentheses represents a number assigned to the well in other publications.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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