1956-57

NORTHEASTERN STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By Philip E. LaMoreaux

Publication of water levels in the United States in the annual series of water-supply papers 

was begun by the Geological Survey in 1935. From 1935 through 1939, 5 volumes ware issued as 

Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, and 886. From 1940 through 1955, 6 volumes were 

published annually, each for a separate section of the United States as shown in figure 1. 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 observationwell program. Publications that contain substantial additional water-level data are listed at the 

end of each State report in this volume.

GROUND-WATER LEVELS, 1956-57, NORTHEASTERN 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-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 (eom).

Figure 1. - -Outline map of the United States showing States included in this volume.

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, 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.
CONNECTICUT

By A. M. LaSala, Jr.

The observation-well program in Connecticut was continued during 1956 and 1957 in cooperation with the State Water Resources Commission. Figure 2 shows the location of observation 

wells whose measurements are listed in this report.

Well-Numbering System

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

For example, well PI 1, in the town of Plainfield, was the first well inventoried in that township.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum except in the city of New Haven, where 

they are above or below mean sea level. A plus sign before the measurement indicates that it is 

above mean sea level.

By O. J. Coskery

The observation-well program in Delaware was continued in 1956-57 in cooperation with 

the State Geological Survey. Figure 3 shows the location of observation wells included in this 

report.

Well-Numbering System

In Sussex County, each well number consists of a two-letter symbol and a serial number. 

The letter symbol refers to the coordinate system used to identify the 5-minute quandrangles of 

latitude and longitude, as shown in figure 3. The quandrangles are lettered north to south with 

uppercase letters and west to east with lowercase letters. Within the quandrangles, the wells 

are numbered in the order they are scheduled.

In Kent and New Castle Counties, the quandrangles are divided into 25 one-minute blocks, 

numbered from north to south in series of tens from 10 to 50 and from west to east in units from 

1 to 5. A well in one of these blocks would be designated by an uppercase letter, a lowercase 

letter, and a two-digit number followed by a hyphen and the serial number for example, 

Gc 52-1.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

The observation-well program was continued during 1956 and 1957 in cooperation with the 

Indiana Department of Conservation, Division of Water Resources. Figure 4 shows the location 

of observation wells whose measurements are included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

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

For example, Ma 10 is observation well 10 in Marion County.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

The observation-well program was continued in 1956 and 1957 in cooperation with the State 

Water Resources Commission and the Geological Survey Division of the State Department of 

Conservation. Figure 7 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Wells in Michigan are numbered according to the rectangular subdivisions of the public 

lands, with reference to the Michigan meridian and base line. The first two segments of a well 

number designate the township and range; the third, the section and the serial number assigned to 

each well. Thus, well SON 6E 6-1 is well 1 in sec. 6, T. 30 N., R. 6 E. The designation formerly used, is included in each well description.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

NEW JERSEY

By Charles R. Austin

The observation-well program in New Jersey was continued in 1956-57 in cooperation with 

the State Department of Conservation and Economic Development, Division of Water Policy and 

Supply. Figure 9 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

The well-numbering system is based on the State topographic atlas sheets. The first segment of the number is that of the atlas sheet on which the well location may be found. The second 

refers to the 6-minute rectangle in which the well is situated. The third refers to the 2-minute 

rectangle into which the 6-minute rectangle is subdivided. Each of the 2-minute rectangles is 

divided into 9 equal rectangles which are numbered from 1 to 9, beginning in the upper left corner 

and numbering to the right. These divisions are again divided into 9 equal rectangles and numbered in the same way.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet referred to mean sea level. Those shown between plus signs are 

above mean sea level, and those between minus signs are below sea level.

NEW YORK

By J. A. Ziarno, L. R. Wistoft, and R. L. Barnell

The observation-well program in New York was continued in 1956 and 1957 in cooperation 

with the State Water Power and Control Commission, the Nassau County Department of Public 

Works, the Suffolk County Board of Supervisors, and the Suffolk County Water Authority. Figure 10 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are designated by letters indicating the county name and by serial numbers. 

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum except in Long Island where they are 

referred to mean sea level (Sandy Hook datum). Measurements between plus signs are above 

mean sea level, and those between minus signs are below mean sea level.

By Alvin J. Feulner

The observation-well program was continued in 1956 and 1557 in cooperation with the Ohio 

Department of Natural Resources, Divisions of Water and Wildlife, the Commissioners of Hamilton County, and the city of Canton. Figure 11 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. 

The letter "a" after the serial number indicates a well whose record is considered to be an extension of that of the well having the corresponding number. For example, the record for well 

Al-la may be used as a continuation of the record for well Al-1.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

Water levels are in feet below land-surface datum.

By Stanley M. Longwill

The observation-well program in Pennsylvania was continued during 1956-57 in cooperation 

with the Topographic and Geologic Survey, Pennsylvania Department of Internal Affairs. Figure 12 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

The well-number ing system includes an identification number followed by a location 

number in parentheses. The well-identification number consists of a two-letter symbol for the 

name of the county and a serial number. For example, Mg-83 identifies the 83d well recorded 

in Montgomery County. The well-location number is composed of two parts separated by a 

hyphen--J22b-1205. "J22b" refers to the coordinate system used to identify the individual 

7z-minute quadrangle. The letters A through L (except I) appear along the west border of the 

map of Pennsylvania. The numbers 1 through 25 appear along'the north border. Each pair of 

coordinates designates a 15-minute quadrangle, "a" representing the northwest quarter, "b" 

the northeast, "c" the southwest, and "d" the southeast. "1205" identifies the northwest corner 

of a one-hundredth square-mile area within the 7^-minute quadrangle designated by "J22b". 

The first two figures "12" refer to the number of tenths of a mile between the northern boundary 

of the 7?-minute quadrangle and the northern boundary of the one-hundredth square-mile area. 

The last two figures "05" represent the distance between the western boundaries of the 7-g-minute 

quadrangle and the one-hundredth square-mile area. Thus, a well having the location number 

J22b-1205 is situated between 1.2 and 1.3 miles south and between 0.5 and 0.6 mile east of the 

north and west boundaries, respectively, of the 7-g-minute quadrangle designated "J22b".
