LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, 

UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY,

DIVISION CF HYDROGRAPHY, 

Washington, D. 61, June 15, 1905.

SIR: I transmit herewith a preliminary list of deep borings in the 

United States (400 feet or more in depth), by Mr. N. H. Darton, and 

request that it be published in the series of Water-Supply and Irrigation Papers.

Very respectfully, F. H. NEWELL,

Hydrographer in Charge.

Director United States Geological Survey.

PRELIMINARY LIST OF DEEP BOEINGS IN THE UNITED

STATES,

By N. H. DAKTON.

INTRODUCTION.

The first preliminary list of deep borings in the United States was 

issued as Water-Supply Papers Nos. 57 and 61. The present publication includes all of the wells listed in these two papers, together with 

many additional borings, mostly of recent date. Messrs. M. L. Fuller 

and A. C. Veatch, of the eastern section of hydrology, and other 

geologists of the Survey have contributed many new data. Descriptions of borings published in reports issued since 1901 have been 

incorporated as far as practicable. All the entries are by counties.

The wells and borings reported in the paper are all more than 400 

feet in depth. The information concerning them has been obtained 

partly from replies to circular letters sent to all parts of the United 

States and partly from geological reports and other published sources. 

Owing to the difficulty of obtaining replies to the circulars, to lack of 

knowledge on the part of correspondents, and to the incompleteness 

of published records, doubtless there are borings which have not been 

reported. In regions of oil and gas wells, where borings are numerous, the individual wells can not be listed here, but representative 

wells are given. References to logs or records of the wells or extended 

descriptions of them are given in footnotes, and after the list of wells 

in each State there is added a list of the principal publications relating 

to deep borings in that State.

The bearing of the information given in the columns of the lists 

probably is apparent unless, perhaps, in the one headed "Height to 

which the water rises." In this column an entry such as " 45" 

indicates that the water rises to within 45 feet of the surface; "+45" 

indicates that it is a flowing well and has sufficient head to raise the 

water 45 feet above the surface in an open pipe 45 feet or more in 

height. The yield in gallons per minute usually is estimated. Depths 

and diameters often have been reported from memory and different 

sources of publication sometimes give different figures. Mos^ wells 

which are not stated to be "for oil," "for gas," " brine," "abandoned,"

etc., in the remarks column, or " not any " in the yield column, generally 

afford more or less water. Many of the gas and oil wells, active or 

abandoned, yield salt water.

1 In Denver and vicinity there are several hundred wells, mainly from 350 to 1,000 feet deep. 

They yield flows of considerable size from several 

horizons, but owing to large number of wells the 

volume of water is now greatly decreased. The 

wells are described in the following publications:

INDIANA.

The numerous deep borings in Indiana are for oil or gas, but a few of them yield 

water supplies. The wells are in groups or " districts," often many square miles in 

extent. Where localities given in the following list are in districts, only representative wells are described, for it would not be practicable here to list all the individual 

wells. In some localities new wells are constantly being sunk.
