WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS 

IN THE UNITED STATES IN 1942

Part 3. NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

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

The rock formations of the earth are great natural 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 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. Beginning in 1940 the records have been published in 

six volumes, covering the northeastern, southeastern, north-central, southcentral, northwestern,and southwestern sections of the country and Hawaii 

(See fig. 1 .) The following table gives the numbers of the water-supply 

papers for each section of the country. This series of water-supply papers 

ie in a sense an inventory, year by year, of the ground-water supplies of 

the parts of the country that are covered.

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

levels and artesian pressure in about 1,390 observation wells of the 

Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, 

Illinois, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Kansas. Of 

these wells, 28 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For 

some wells not previously reported, complete records of water levels are 

given in this volume, including those for the years before 1942. For wells 

whose previous records have been published, however, t his 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 numbers in 

parentheses immediately following a well number indicate the water-supply 

papers in which earlier records of that well are given and the pages on 

which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is 

given in that paper. This report includes about 16,800 individual determinations of water level and artesian pressure.

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

planes of different kinds. Some are given in depths below the measuring 

point, that is, below the recognized reference mark at or near the top of 

the well from which the depth to the water level is usually measured; some 

are given in height above an assumed datum plane; and some are given in feet 

below the land-surface datum, which is a precise plane that approximates the 

land surface in the vicinity of the well.

Acknowledgments for effective services in the preparation of this 

report are due Misses Dorothy Ireland, Bertha Niemi, and Thelma Walls, who 

typed the offset copy, and to Mrs. Bertha Dale and Rodney Hart, who prepared 

the illustrations.
INTRODUCTION

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order that information would be available currently on general 

ground-water conditions over the country. The wells were selected because 

the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be typical and repreHAWAIIAN ISLANDS

sentative of the general fluctuations that occur in the parts of the 

country in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1942 the network 

included about 130 wells in 40 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942; the other 90 wells were selected 

from those measured regularly in connection with cooperative ground-water 

investigation. The coverage of the country is still far from adequate, and 

it is expected that some wells not now included will be added to the network 

from time to time.

In the north-central part of the United States

In 1942 the precipitation in all the States in the north-central

high stages. The fluctuations of water levels and artesian 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 pressure and the departure from 

normal precipitation.

The following statements are taken chiefly from the interpretive text 

that precedes the water-level measurements in each of the several State 

sections in this volume. They are illustrated by the graphs of the water

were at the end of 1940. The average decline during 1942 in 78 representative wells, situated In 22 counties throughout the State, was about 1.2 

feet. In the preceding year there was an average rise of 3.6 feet in 57 

representative wells situated in 16 counties.

In the Tarkio Creek area, in adjacent parts of Iowa and Missouri, the 

water levels in 12 representative wells were about 8 feet higher at the 

beginning of 1942 than at the beginning of 1941, owing to heavy rains in 

the fall of 1941 that produced plentiful recharge to the shallow

subterranean reservoirs. After rising to unusually high stages in March 

1942, the water levels in the wells declined more or less progressively 

until the end of the year, when they showed an average net decline of 

about 5 feet from the end of 1941. The water levels in these wells have 

been measured since 1934. They reached the lowest average stage on record

of March 1942 amounted to about 12.4 feet.

Kansas. In response to abundant precipitation in 1941 the water 

levels in most of the wells under observation in Kansas reached high 

stages by the end of the year, but because of the continuing abundant 

precipitation during 1942 still higher stages were reached in this year in 

many of the wells. Thus, new high stages were recorded in the majority of 

wells in 21 of the 85 counties in which records of a year or more are

regularly in this well since 1934 and the water levels reflect natural 

conditions of recharge and discharge. In each month in 1942 the water 

level was above the average stage for that month, and from the end of May 

to the end of the year the water levels stood higher than at the same 

dates in any previous year.

flebraska. The water levels in most observation wells unaffected by 

pumping had net rises during 1942. Based on the records of 87 wells 

situated throughout the State, the water levels rose an average of 0.64 foot, 

If it is assumed that this average net rise represents the average net 

fluctuation of the water table over the entire Stete and that the specific 

yield of the formations in which the water occurs averages 15 percent, the 

amount of water in subterranean storage was increased in 1942 by about 

4,760,000 acre-feet.

The fluctuations of water level in a shallow ksy observation well near 

Keystone (No. N-12, Keith County) are shown in figure 3 , The water level 

during January and February 1942 was the lowest on record (1936-42) for 

these months. A small amount of recharge took place during March,and 

abundant recharge occurred in April, As a result, the water level rose to 

the highest April stage on record and continued above the average for 

corresponding dates during the remainder of the year.

North Dakota. The general rise in ground-water levels that began in 

1941 continued through 1942, and the water levels in 22 representative 

wells distributed throughout the State reached their highest average in 

the 5-year period of record and probably the highest in the last 10 years. 

At the end of 1942 the water levels in all the observation wells averaged 

about 0.5 foot above the average stage of a year previous and about 0.7 foot 

above the year-end stage of 1937.

Figure 4 shows the fluctuations of water level In a key observatior 

well at Sheyenne. The water level in this well was higher at the end of 

each month during 1942 than it was at any corresponding month end record (1937-42)

South Dakota.--The water levels in about 20 shallow observation wells 

in southeastern South Dakota rose about 5 feet from February to June 1942, 

and at the end of the year they were about 2.6 feet higher than at the end 

of 1941, During the summer of 1942 the water levels in these wells reached 

their highest stages since December 1939, when observations on them were 

begun. Much of the rise in ground-water levels in this part of South 

Dakota was caused by abundant recharge from heavy precipitation in March, 

May, and June 1942. In the other months the precipitation was below normal 

at most localities.
INTRODUCTION

Wisconsin. The fluctuations of water level in a typical well near 

Sparta (Vo. 2, Monroe County) are shown in figure 5 The water level at 

the beginning of 1942 was about normal, but it rose less than seasonally 

fro* January through April. Recharge was high, however, in May and again 

in September, and as a result the water level was above the average 

seasonal stage from May through December. During the last, two months of 

the year the water level was higher than it was in the corresponding months 

of any of the previous years.

In order to obtain Information on the fluctuations of ground-water 

level In Illinois, measurements were begun November 11 by the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, In a well In Prlnceton. 

Eight measurements were made by T. W. Robinson and Nick Hansen from November 

14 to December 26, the last date of observation In 1942. In this period 

the water level rose 2,16 feet, most of which occurred In the weeh of 

November 21-28.

By T. W. Robinson and If. E. Hale

/

Two programs of water-level measurements in observation wells in 

Iowa were in progress in 1942 the State-wide program and the Tarkio Creek 

area program. At the close of the year the State-wide proernm Included 

239 wells, and the program in the Tarkio Creek area, which ia in southwestern 

Iowa and northwestern Missouri, included 49 wells in Iowa. The latter 

program is discussed on pages 51-61.

STATE-WIDE PROGRAM

The State-wide program, begun in 1938, was continued in 1942 by the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation 

with the Iowa Geological Survey. During the year 57 wells were added to 

the program and 17 were discontinued. About 1,525 individual measurements 

of water level were made. Of the 239 observation wells included, 10 were 

equipped with automatic water-level recorders, 2 of which were installed 

during the year. Prom the recorder charts of these instruments the water 

levels at noon or the highest and lowest levels for the day, depending on 

the daily range of fluctuation, were determined. They are given in the 

tabulated records that follow. The water level was measured weekly In about 

10 wells and monthly in about 50. In most of the remaining wells it was 

measured quarterly, although in a few it was measured only once during the 

year. In addition to the measurements made under the regular observationwell program, numerous measurements of water level were made on individual 

wells throughout the State in connection with pumping test and on wells in 

Webster County in connection with the detailed investigation of groundwater resources in that county.

In general, the water levels in shallow wells were somewhat lower 

in December 1942 than in December 1941 but still higher than in December

1940. The average water levels reached a record high in March 1942, when

they stood 1.5 feet higher than in December 1941. Copious rains in the 

fall of 1941 had saturated the soil and caused a record high at that time. 

Additional moisture from melting snow and from rains during February and 

March of 1942 caused an additional rise in the already high ground-water 

level.

The average net decline during the year in 78 representative wells, 

located both singly and in groups throughout the State, in 23 t>ounties, was 

about 1.2 feet. From December 1940 to December 1941 the average water 

level in 57 representative wells, in 16 counties, rose 3.6 feet, '^hus, the 

average water level in December 1942 was still 2.4 feet higher than in 

December 1940.

The average water level remained high during the first half of the 

year. From the high point of March it had declined 0.7 foot by the first of 

June but still stood 0.8 foot higher than in December 1941 Prom June to 

September the decline was greater, amounting to 1.4 feet, and from September 

to December it was about half of the summer decline or 0.8 foot.

fbe amount of the rise and fall of the water level varied in 

different counties. In some the average rise for tne year was greater than 

the average decline, and in others it was lesa . Neither the counties in 

which the water level rose nor those in which It declined can be grouped 

according to location, for the counties that fall In each of these classes 

are scattered throughout the State. The following table shows the average 

net change in water levels in shallow wells, by counties , in 1942:

Precipitation in tne state to the end of November was 2.3? inches 

above the average. For January, February, and March it was slightly below 

the average, and for April it was 1.64 inches below the average. The
IOWA 13

deficiency was more than offset during May, June, and July, when the total 

for the 3-month period was 3.13 inches above the average. In August the 

precipitation was 0.41 inch below the average, but the deficiency was again 

offset during the 3-month period September to November by precipitation that: 

was 1.29 inches above the average. Freezing temperatures began the last 

week in November and continued almost without interruption until the end of 

December. As a result,' there was little opportunity for ground-water 

recharge from melting snow and ice during the last week of November and all 

of December.

In Cerro Qordo County a study was made of the change in water level 

in wells of various depths. About 80 wells selected fOr the purpose were 

measured four times during the year. For convenience, they were divided 

into four groups on the basis of depth, as follows: Group 1, wells less 

than 25 feet deep; group 2, wells 25 to 50 feet deep; group 3, wells 50 tc 

100 feet deep; group 4, wells more than 100 but less than 300 feet deep. 

The following table shows the change in water level in each group, and also 

in the four groups taken as a whole, by periods of about 3 months each.

A similar change of water level took place in the four groups of 

wells taken as a whole and in each of the groups taken separately. From 

the fall of 1941 the average water level for the groups taken as a whola 

rose steadily until it reached a high point in March 1942; then it declined 

until the end of the year. The greatest rise occurred in the /rolls of group 

2, in which the average water level was 1.87 feet higher in March 1942 bhan 

in the fall of 1941; and the smallest rise, amounting to 0.92 foot, occurred 

in the wells of group 4. For the year, the greatest net average decline, 

3.97 feet, occurred in the wells of group 3; and the smallest net average 

decline, 1.73 feet occurred In the wells of group 4. In the well of the

14 WATER JoEVtSJ^S AMD ARTESTAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

greatest depth, 290 feet, the dealine for the year was only 0.24 foot, but 

in the well of the second greatest depth, 230 feet, it was 4.04 feet. The 

greatest decline for the year, 10.71 feet, occurred in a well 64 feet deep. 

This well, which is near a large stream, is believed to be affected by the 

flow of that stream and may have had an unusually high water level in the 

fall of 1941 as the result of the stream being at a high stage.

The foregoing analysis of water levels by wells grouped according 

to depth seems to indicate that in Cerro Gordo County rainfall is effective 

in the recharge of aquifers 200 feet or less in depth. It does not necessarily indicate a secular decline of the water level, but rather a decline 

luring the last 9 months of the year from the high water levels of March. 

Those high water levels were due in part to recharge form the heavy rains 

in the fall of 1941 and in part to the melting durine the late winter, of 

the season's accumulation of snow and ice.

In moat of the deep observation wells in which the water is under 

artesian pressure are In or near areas of heavy pumping and reflect the 

effect of seasonal pumping. In general, the water levels in these wells 

were highest during the winter and spring, declined sharply in the late 

spring to the low point reached in July and August, when pumping was heaviest, 

and then rose again during the fall.

The fluctuation of the water level in an unused well 195 feet deep 

at Cedar Rapids is shown in figure 6 . in tnis hydrograph the water level 

at noon is shown for the first 4 and the last 3 months of the year. For 

May, June, July, August, and September the highest and lowest water levels 

for each day are shown unless the change in level was less than 0.4 foot, 

in which event the water level at noon is shown. This well taps water in 

dolomite,and it is from this bed that most of the ground water in the Cedar 

Rapids area is pumped. Although Cedar Rapids obtains its municipal supply 

from the Cedar River, a large amount of ground water is pumped by private 

wells throughout the year for industrial use and in the summer months for 

air conditioning. The unused well just mentioned is about 3 miles from the 

heavily pumped industrial and air-conditioning district in downtown Cedar 

Rapids and but little more than half a mile from the nearest industrial 

and air-conditioning well.

Its water level is affected by pumping, by changes in barometric

pressure, and possibly by variations in the rate of recharge. For the first 

4 months of 1942 the water level declined slowly, although during the last 

part of April the decline was much more rapid. The effect of ground-water 

draft for air conditioning is shown by the abrupt decline of the water level 

during the last week in May and its sharp rise during the latter part of 

September. These periods coincide very closely with the beginning and the 

end of the warm summer season in 1942. The highest water level observed 

during the year occurred January 1, when it stood 67.76 feet below the 

land surface, and the lowest occurred July 23, when it stood 81.93 below the 

land surface. Prom the first of October until the end of the year, the 

water level recovered steadily from the effect of the summer pumping. At 

the end of December, however, it had not fully recovered but stood about 

6 feet lower than on January 1.

Progress was made in the collection of records of pumpage from 

underground sources, especially in Webster County, where pumpage records 

or estimates were obtained from all the municipalities and from most private 

users of large amounts of ground water. During the year many pumping tests 

were made by the State and Federal Geological Surveys to determine the wateryielding capacity of wells and the transmissiblities of the water-bearing 

formations.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Iowa are listed alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county under each of the two programs conducted 

in the State. Complete descriptions are given for only newly added wells. 

The numbers in parenthesis immediately following a well number indicate 

the water-supply papers in which earlier records of that well are given 

and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description 

ol the well is given in that paper. The water level in each well is 

expressed in feet below the land-surface datum, which is the average land 

surface in the vicinity of the well. The measurements were made on the 

basis of central standard time prior to 2 a.m. February 9, 1942, and central 

war time thereafter.

TAHKIO CREEK AREA PROGRAM

The observation-well program in the Tarkio Creek area, begun in 1934,

was continued in 1942 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of

!/ 

the Interior. This area includes parts of^Montgomery and Page Counties,

Iowa, and Atchison County, Mo. Of the 69 wells in the area under observation at the beginning of 1942, 50 were in Iowa and 19 in Missouri. Measurements in 2 wells (Nos. 26 and 48) were discontinued during the year. The 

wells in the area as a whole are discussed in this section of the present 

report, but records of the water levels in wells in the Missouri part of 

the area are given in the section that deals with that State. The water 

levels were measured monthly, usually between the 25th and the last day 

of the month. In all, 788 individual measurements were made during the 

year. The work was done by D. W. Knox until September 1 and by D. L. Hummel 

during the remainder of the year.

Water-level measurements in 10 to 12 wells (Nos. 1, 2, 5, 6,7,10,11,

12, 14, 15, 16. 17) were used in computing the average water levels in 

I/ For earlier reports on this program see Water-Supply Papers 777 

(pp. 62-65). 817 (pp. 55-61), 840 (pp.89-100), 845 (pp.85-92), 886 (pp.121-

The average water level was 8.17 feet nlgher in January 1942 than in 

January 1941, owing to heavy rains in the fall of 1941. Although the precipitation, largely in the form of snow, was above normal in January and 

February, freezing temperatures prevented melting, and as a result a slight 

decline of the water level occurred in February. Because of above-freezing 

temperatures in March, the accumulated snow and ice melted, resulting in 

considerable ground-water recharge and a rise of the average water level 

at the end of the month to a record high 2.02 feet above the previous high 

of November 1941. During April, as the result of subnormal precipitation, 

the average water level declined 2.91 feet; but in May, when the rainfall 

was above normal, it rose 0.58 foot. From the last of May to the last of 

August, which is the growing season, the water levels declined steadily, 

and the average level was 4.59 feet lower in August than in May. The rainfall during this 3-month period was somewhat below normal. During September 

the average water level rose 0.62 foot, after which it declined until, near 

the end of November, it reached its lowest point for the year, which was 

7.17 feet lower than the record high reached in March. It rose slightly 

during December, and at the end of the year, although it was 4.68 feet 

below the average water level in December 1941, it was still about 2 feet 

higher than the average year-end water level for the period of record, 

1934-42.

Figure 7 shows the fluctuation of the average water level and the precipitation for each month since August 1934. The lowest average water level 

during the period of recoj.-d occurred in March 1938. The net rise from the 

record low of March 1938 to the record high of March 1942 amounted to 12.38 

feet.

INTRODUCTION

By S. W. Lohman

The Kansas section of the report on water levels In the north-central 

States for 1941 ^ater-Supply Paper 938) contained records for 25 counties. 

The Kansas section of the present report, which covers the same group of 

States for 1942, contains records for 35 counties. (See fig. 8.) The 10 

counties included for the first time are Barton, Bourbon, Cherokee, Labette, 

Logan, Republic, Stafford, Stevens, and Thomas Counties. Observation-well 

programs In each of the 35 counties are being conducted by the 'Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, and the State Geological 

Survey of Kansas, In cooperation with the Division of Water Resources of 

the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and the Division of Sanitation of the 

Kansas State Board of Health. The program In Jewell County is being carried 

on in cooperation also with the Soil Conservation Service, United States 

Department of Agriculture, and the programs In Harvey, McPherson, and 

Sedgwick Counties are being conducted in cooperation also with the city of 

Wichlta.

Results of cooperative ground-water investigations published In 1942 

by the State Geological Survey of Kansas include a detailed report on Norton 

County ^and brief reports, Indicating the availability of ground-water 

supplies for war plants and military bases In the south-central part of the 

State /and on the State as a whole. In addition, an article on deepseated solution in western Kansas and Oklahoma was published by the American

Geophysical Union. '

Ground-water investigations were made during 1942 in the following 

counties and areas in Kansas by the individuals named: In Barton and Stafford 

Counties, by B.F. Latta; in Cloud and Republic Counties, by V. C. Fishel; 

in Stevens County, by T. G. McLaughlin; in Thomas County, by J. C. Frye; 

and in the deep-water area in the southeastern part of the State, by G. E. 

Abernathy and C. C. Williams. Also, a large amount of work was done by 

members of the cooperative staff in developing ground-water supplies for 

war industries and military establishments throughout the State.

At the beginning of 1942, periodic water-level measurements were 

being made in 461 observation wells. During the year, 84 wells were discontinued and measurements were begun or resumed in 71 others. At the end 

of the year, water-level measurements were being made in 448 wells; of these, 

9 were observed quarterly, 315 monthly, 89 wells semimonthly, and 24 weekly 

and 11 were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. Three recorders 

in Scott County and one in Finney County are maintained by the Division 

of Water Resources, Kansas State Board of Agriculture, and the records of 

these wells are published through the- courtesy of George S. Knapp, chief 

engineer. A total of 6,959 wetted-tape water-level measurements was made 

during the year. In the two tables that follow herewith these .data are 

arranged by counties.

As indicated in the preceding table, the precipitation in 1942 was 

above normal in 33 of the 35 counties and ranged from 99 percent of normal 

in Barber and Stanton Counties to 164 percent of normal in Morton County. 

In response to abundant precipitation the water levels in most of the wells 

in 1941 reached the highest stages of their period of record. Because of 

the continuing abundant precipitation the following year, many of the high 

stages reached in 1941,were exceeded in 1942, and new high stages were 

reached in the majority of wells in 22 of the 25 counties in which records 

of a year or more are available. In 21 of the 25 counties there was a net 

rise in water level during the year in 54 to 100 percent of the wells. In 

most of the 4 counties in which the number of wells showing net rises was 

less than 50 percent, most of the observation wells were pumped or were 

affected noticeably by nearby pumping during the year. Water-level trends 

in such wells, therefore, particularly those in Ness County and in the 

shallow-water basin of Scott County, reflect the extent of nearby pumping 

rather than the amount of recharge.

WELL DESC-RIPTIQNS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Kansas are listed alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county. Complete descriptions are given only 

for newly added wells. The numbers in parenthesis immediately following 

a well number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records 

of that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk 

indicated that a description of the well is given in that paper. The water 

level in each well is expressed in feet below a fixed measuring point or in 

feet above an assumed datum plane.

Bourbon County

By C. C. Williams

A survey of the geology and ground-water resources of the prePennsylvanian rocks in an area made up of parts of Bourbon, Cherokee, Crawford, and Labette Counties, was begun in the summer of 1942 by the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, and the State Geological 

Survey of Kansas in cooperation with the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas 

State Board of Health, and the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas 

State Board of Agriculture, The investigation was made by G. E. Abernathy,
KANSAS, BOURBON COUNTY 73

of the State Geological Survey, and Charles C. Williams, of the Federal 

Geological Survey, under the supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist 

in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas. This investigation was 

concerned only with the ground water contained in artesian aquifers of prePennsylvanian (principally Oraovician) age and was undertaken primarily 

because of the actual and potential inportance of these rocks in supplying 

water for war industries.

Bourbon, Crawford, and Cherokee Counties are situated in the order 

named from north to south along the eastern boundary of Kansas, Cherokee 

being the southeasternnost county in the State. Labette County is situated 

just to the west of Cherokee County along the southern boundary of the State, 

The area made up of parts of these four counties is a gently rolling plain 

except along the escarpment formed by the Fort Scott limestone and in a

few places where beds of resistant sandstone in the Cherokee shale crop

5/ 

out. Most of this area has been designated the Cherokee Lowland by Moore.

In all, 9 observation wells were established in the area- -2 in Bourbon 

County, 2 in Cherokee County, 4 in Crawford County, and 1 in Labette County. 

Of these 6 are deep wells that obtain their water from Ordovician rocks 

and 3 are shallow wells that obtain their water from alluvium or the 

Cherokee shale (Pennsylvanian) or both. Water-level measurements are being 

made monthly in the 6 deep wells by G. E. Abernathy in the 3 shallow wells 

by local observers.

1. City of Fort Scott. NEiSEjSEi sec. 29, T. 25 S., R. 25 E. Unused

The observation-well program begun during 1942 in an area made up of 

parts of Bourbon, Cherokee, Crawford, and Labette Counties is discussed in 

the section of this report that deals with Bourbon County.

Logan County

By S. W. Lohman and W. W. Wilson

An observation-well program in Logan County was begun in the fall of 

1942 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, 

and the State Geological Survey of Kansas in cooperation with the Division 

of Tfeter Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and the Division 

of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health.

Most of Logan County lies in the High Plains section of the Great 

Plains physiographic province, but the southeastern part is in the Plains 

Border section. The northern and southwestern parts of the county are 

relatively flat. The Smoky Hill River, which traverses the county from 

west to southeast, has cut considerably below the Plains surface, notably 

in the southeastern part of the county, where it occupies a wide valley. 

The entire county is drained by Smoky Hill River and its tributaries, all 

of which are intermittent streams.

The geology of the county has been described briefly by Landes and 

Keroher, i/ but no detailed ground-water study has been made. About half 

of the county, including most of the stream valleys, is underlain by the 

Niobrara formation and the Plerre shale, of Cretaceous age. The upland 

surface is capped by the Ogallala formation, of Tertiary age. Silt and 

sand of the Sanborn formation overlie the older deposits'over much of the 

upland surface. Alluvium occurs along the valleys of the Smoky Hill River 

and its larger tributaries. The Niobrara formation and Pierre shale are

relatively impermeable and yield little or no water to wells.

_!/ Landes, K.K., and Keroher, R. P., Geology and oil and gas resources

Circ. 11, 45 pp., 4 pis., 8 figs., February 1939.
138 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

Water supplies, generally adequate for domestic or stock use, are 

obtained In the uplands from sand or gravel of the Ogallala formation and, 

in the larger valleys, from alluvium,

Pour wells in the northeastern part of the county, all of which tap 

the Ogallala formation, were selected for monthly observation of water 

levels. W. W. Wilson selected the wells and made all the water-level 

measurements. In all, 14 wetted-tape measurements were made in 1942.

State Board of Health and the Division of Water Resources of the 

State Board of Agriculture. The Bureau of Reclamation, United States 

Department of the Interior, also cooperated in a special investigation of 

*;he Republican River Valley between the Nebraska-Kansas State line and 

Ooncordia in Cloud County, in order to determine the possibility of irrigation by wells. The investigation was made by the writer under the super- 

''ision of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas.

The geology of Republic and Cloud Counties was studied by Wing 

in 1930. Republic County is situated near the eastern edge of the Great 

''lains province. It is drained by the Republican River and by tributaries 

of the Republican and Little Blue Rivers. A3"" of the county is underlain 

'*Y Cretaceous rocks. The Cretaceous rocks are covered by alluvium in the 

larger valleys and by Pleistocene or Tertiary deposits or both in the northern 

nart of the county.

Nine observation wells were established in Republic County in 1942. 

One well is equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder; monthly waterlevel measurements are being made in the other wells by the wetted-tape method.

In all. 68 wetted-tape measurements were made in 1942, all by local observers.

Stafford County 

By B. P. Latta

An investigation of the geology and ground-water recources of 

Stafford County and southern Barton County, was begun in 1942 by the United 

States Department of the Interior, Geological Survey, and the State Geological Survey of Kansas in cooperation with the Division of Water Resourcps 

of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and the Division of Sanitation of 

the Kansas State Board of Health. The work is being done by the writer 

under the supervision of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist in charge of 

ground-water investigations in Kansas. No previous studies of the groundirater resources of this area have been made. 

a Measurement may not be accurate.
KANSAS, STAFFORD COUNTY 169

The area under investigation is within the great bend of the Arkansas 

River in central Eansas. It is a part of the Plains Border section of the 

Great Plains province and has in general, a gently rolling surface, although 

it Includes some hummocky areas of sand dunes. Drainage is by the Arkansas 

River, which crosses the northern part of the area, and by three tributaries 

of the Arkansas Rattlesnake and Walnut Creeks, and North Fork of Ninnescah 

River. With the exception of Walnut Creek, all these are gaining streams >at 

least in parts.

Most of Stafford County is underlain by Quaternary dune sand, but there 

are two relatively small areas in the southern half of the county underlain 

by Pleistocene sand and gravel and one small area in the northeastern part 

underlain by the Dakota formation of Cretaceous age. Southern Barton County 

is underlain by the Dakota formation, Pleistocene terrace deposits, 

Quaternary dune sand, and alluvium.

Supplies of ground water adequate for most purposes are available at 

relatively shallow depths over most of the area. The most productive waterbearing beds in the_area are sand and gravel of Plelstocene(?) age and 

alluvium. Most domestic and stock wells and a few irrigation wells obtain 

water from the Pleistocene(?) sands and gravels. Alluvium supplies water to 

domestic, stock, and irrigation wells in the Arkansas Valley, and the Dakota 

formation supplies water to a few domestic and stock wells north of that 

valley.

At the end of 1942, measurements of water-level \irere being made once 

a month by the wetted-tape method in 8 wells in Stafford County and in 6 

wells in southern Barton County. All observation wells in Stafford County 

tap Pleistocene(?) sand and gravel. In southern Barton County wells 1 and 5 

tap alluvium in the Arkansas Valley, wells 16 and 43 tap Pleistocenef?) sand 

and gravel, well 55 taps Pleistocene terrace gravel, and well 2 taps the ' 

Dakota formation. In all, 72 wetted-tape measurements were made in 1942 in 

the 14 observation wells in the area made up of Stafford County and southern 

Barton County. All water-level measurements prior to November were made by 

the writer; those during and after November were made by W. W. Wilson or 

M.S. Scanlan.

The descriptions and water-level measurements for the wells in Stafford 

County are given on the following pages. The numbers given for the wells 

are the field numbers. Descriptions and water-level measurements for the wells 

in southern Barton County are given in the chapter on Barton County.

Stevens County 

By T. G. McLaughlin

A survey of the geology and ground-water resources of Stevens 

County, was begun in July 1942 by the Geological Survey, United States 

Department of the Interior and the State Geological Survey of Kansas in 

cooperation with the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of 

Health, and the Division of Wfiter Resources of the Kansas State Board of 

Agriculture. The investigation was'made under the supervision of S. 18. 

Lohman, Federal geologist in charge of ground-water investigations in Kansas.

Stevens County is the second county in Kansas along the Oklahoma 

State line east of the Colorado State line. It is bounded by Morton, Grant, 

and Seward Counties on the west, north, and east, respectively, and by
KANSAS, STEVENS COUNTY 173

Texas County, Okla., on the south. This area Is a relatively flat and nearly 

featureless plain, Interrupted only by the Clraarron River Valley, In the 

northwestern part. The southern half Is slightly rolling because of 

scattered sand dunes. The whole area is underlain principally by dune 

sand and undifferentiated Pliocene and Pleistocene deposits, which form the 

principal water-bearing beds and which supply water to more than 98 percent 

of the wells In the county. A few stock wells, however, obtain water from 

the alluvium of the Cimarron Elver Valley.

Water levels In 107 wells in Stevens County were measured at least 

once as a part of the investigation. Nine of these wells were selected for 

periodic observation, and, beginning July 1, the water levels in them were 

measured once each month during the remainder of 1942. In all, 53 Individual 

measurements of water level were made In the observation wells in 1942. The 

measurements were made by Woodrow W. Wilson.

Thomas County 

By J. C. Frye

An investigation of the geology and ground-water resources of 

Thomas County, was begun in 1942 by the Federal Geological Survey and the 

State Geological Survey of Kansas, in cooperation with the Division of 

Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture and the Division 

of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health. Approximately 6 weeks 

were spent in the field by the writer during the summer of 1942, under the 

direction of S. W. Lohman, Federal geologist in charge of ground-water 

investigations in Kansas.
KANSAS, THOMAS COUNTY 175

Thomas County Is located in the High Plains section of the Great 

Plains physiographic province. It is drained by forks of the Saline and 

Solomon River and Sappa Creek and by Prairie Dog Creek, all of which flow 

to the east or northeast across the county and are a part of the Kansas 

River drainage system. There are no permanent streams; water flows in those 

listed above only during and after rains.

Most of the county is underlain by silt and sand of the Sanborn 

formation, of Pleistocene age. Sand, gravel, silt and caliche of the 

Ogallala formation occur below the Sanborn in all of Thomas County, and 

thin alluvium occurs along the larger valleys. The Ogallala formation 

unconformably overlies rocks of Cretaceous age, principally the Pierre shale. 

Most wells in the county obtain adequate domestic or stock supplies from the 

Ogallala formation, and a few obtain meager supplies from the sand at the 

base of the Sanborn formation and from the shallow alluvium along Prairie 

Dog and Sappa Creeks. In the southwestern part of the county, where wellwater supplies are difficult to obtain, a few wells have been drilled into 

the Pierre shale, but these yield little or no water.

At the end of 1942, measurements of water level were being made 

once a month by the wetted-tape method in 13 wells in Thomas County, all 

of which obtain water from the Ogallala formation. The first measurement 

in each well was made by the writer, and the subsequent measurements were 

made by W. W. Wilson. In all, 56 individual water-level measurements were 

made from July 13 to the end of the year.

By A. L. Greenlea and T. W. Robinson

Periodic measurements of the water levels in 7 wells in Clay County, 

Minn., were continued in 1942 by the Geological Survey, United States

Department of tha Interior, in cooperation with the North Dakota Geological

I/ 

Survey and the city of Fargo, N. Dak. During the year observations were

begun by the Federal Geological Survey on a wall near Hanska, Brown County, 

in the south-central part of the State, in order to obtain information on 

the fluctuations of the water table in that area. At the end of the year, 

therefore, there were 8 wells under observation in the State. In all, 

about 282 individual measurements were made during 1942, 263 of which were 

on the wells in Clay County and 19 on tha well in Brown County. 

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Minnesota are listed alphabetically by the two 

counties in which thay are situated and numerically within aach county. 

Complete descriptions are given only for newly added wells. The numbers in 

parentheses immediately following a wall number indicate the water-supply 

papers in which earlier records of that well are given and the pages on 

which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is 

given in that paper. The water level in each of the Clay County wells is 

expressed in feet above assumed datum planes. In the Brown County well, the 

water level is expressed in feet balow land-surface datum.

Brown County

The first measurement of water level in the one well under observation 

in this county was made by T. W. Robinson on July 31. The measurements 

during ths remainder of tha year, the last on December 28, were made by the 

ownor, Brwin KJelshus. The water level in the well declined 0.66 foot 

during the period of measurement.

MISSOURI

At the end of 1942 the network of observation wells maintained by the 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, was represented 

in Missouri by 21 wells. Of these, 18 are in Atchison County and are included in the Tarkio Creek program, begun in 1934. The 3 remaining wells, 

1 of which is in Grundy County and 2 in Phelps County, were added during 

the year.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells in Missouri are Hated alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county. Complete descriptions are given for 

only newly added wej.ls. The numbers in parentheses immediately following 

a well number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of 

that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is given in that paper. The water 

level in each well is expressed in feet below the land-surface datum, which 

is the average land surface in the vicinity of the well.

At,chison County

Tarkio Creek area

By T. W. Robinson and W. E. Hale

The observation-well program for the entire Tarkio Creek area, which 

lies partly in northwestern Missouri and partly in southwestern Iowa, is 

discussed in the section of this paper that deals with Iowa. (See pp. 52 &53) 

In the part of the area that lies in Missouri, 19 wells, all in Atchison 

County, were under observation at the beginning of the year. Measurements 

in 1 well (No. 26) were discontinued during the year, leaving 18 wells under 

observation at the end of the year. The measurements were made by D. W. 

Knox until September 1 and by D. L. Hummel during the remainder of the year.

An observation well was established at Trenton on November 24, 1942. 

On that day T. W. Robinson made a measurement of the water level in the 

well, and during December the owner, Wiley H. Estes, made three measurements.

Phelpa County 

By S. W. Lohman

Two observation wells were established in Phelps County in the fall of 

1942. Both are on sloping, well-drained land in the Gasconade River Valley 

and obtain water from dolomite. They are near the stream-gaging station on 

the Gasconade River at Jerome, which will make it possible to study the relation between the ground-water levels and the stage of the river.

The wells were selected by the author with the aid of C. J. Eyberg, 

office engineer in the Rolla office of the division of surface water, Geological Survey, U. S. Department of the Interior. The water levels were 

measured monthly by engineers of the Rolla office through the courtesy of 

H. C. Beckman, district engineer. In all, 8 wetted-tape measurements were 

made during the year.

By H. A. V/aite and G. D. Jones

The State-wide program of water-level measurements In observation wells 

in Nebraska, begun in 1934 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division of the University of Nebraska, was continued in 1942. Records of 

water level in the wells and some interpretation of the fluctuations of 

the water level are given in the annual reports of the Geological Survey 

on water levels and artesian pressure. The reports already published are 

Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 886, 908, and 938.

Measurements of water levels made in 375 observation wells are given 

in the present report. Included in the group are 80 wells in the observation of which the following organizations are cooperating informally: 

Grand Island Water Department, 30 wells in Hall County and 2 in Merrick 

County; Pish and Wildlife Service, United States Department of the Interior, 

9 wells in Garden County; Central Nebraska Public Power and Irrigation 

District, 7 wells in Dawson County, 1 in Garden County, 1 in Gosper County, 

and 30 in Keith County. The daily tape measurements given for well 85 in 

Morrill County were furnished by the Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation.

In August 1942 monthly measurements of water level were begun in 7 key 

wells in the State, each selected on account of its strategic location. 

The water-level records of 4 of these, namely, wells 123, 203, 211, and 

Garden County 4, are included in this report. The data obtained from these 

records forms the basis of the concise factual statements concerning waterlevel conditions in the State that appear currently in the Geological Survey 

Monthly Water Resources Review. In all, 1,373 individual measurements of 

water level were made in Nebraska in 1942.

 The precipitation in Nebraska in 1942 was 25.17 inches, 2.63 inches 

above normal and 0.72 inch above that of 1941. As a result, the water 

levels in most of the observation wells had net rises for the year. The 

following tables summarize the fluctuations in key wells throughout the

State. The average water levels have been recomputed for the entire period 

186
NEBRASKA 187

of record, using a total of 87 wells for each year. The levels of only 

those wells that have been measured without interruption since the observation-well program was begun in 1934 were used in computing the averages. 

The average water levels shown in the corresponding table published in the 

report for 1941 (see Water-Supply Paper 938, p. 155) differ slightly, therefore, from those given in the following table.

The tables show that in 1942 the averages of the water levels in the 

observation wells increased in all 6 sections of the State. There was an 

average net rise of 0.64 foot in the 87 wells during the year. At the end 

of 1942, the averages in all sections of the State except the northwest 

were higher than at the end of 1934. In northwest Nebraska there was an 

average decline of 0.01 foot in water level in the 8-year period. For the 

entire State there was an average net rise of 0.65 foot during the 8-year 

period. If it is assumed that the average net rise of 0.64 foot recorded
188 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1942, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

in the 87 key wells In 1942 represents the average net fluctuation of the 

water table over the entire State and that the specific yield of the formations In which the water occurs in Nebraska averages 15 percent, that is, 

that each cubic foot of material will yield or store 0.15 cubic foot of 

water, then the records Indicate a net Increase In ground-water storage In 

1942 of about 4,760,000 acre-feet. On the same basis, the Increase In 

ground-water storage In the 8-year period ending with 1942 nay be computed 

to be about 4,800,000 acre-feet. The precipitation In Nebraska during the 

8-year period was about 20 Inches below average adeflclency equivalent to 

about 81,800,000 acre-feet of water.

During 1942, the water levels In 16 of the 87 observation wells reached 

new high stages, and those In 3 of the wells reached new low stages.

Water levels In wells -In the vicinity of Grand Island rose during J.942 

as a result of an increase in precipitation. The precipitation for the 

year at Grand Island was 25.58 inches, 1.48 inches below normal, but 0.35 

Inch more than in 1941 and 13.67 inches more than in 1940. As a result, 

the water levels in 25 wells showed net rises during the period November 12, 

1941, to December 6, 1942, ranging from 0.41 foot to 2.58 feet and averaging 

1.5 feet. The water level in one well (GI 241) showed a net decline of 

0.45 foot during this same period. The water level in this well, however, 

was affected by pumpage from the new city well on South Harrison Street, 

which is situated less than a quarter of a mile to the north. The water 

level in GI 241 is probably affected also by punpage from four irrigation 

wells that are situated in the same quarter section.

VffiLL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wslls in Nebraska are listed alphabetically by counties 

and numerically within each county. Complete descriptions are given only 

for^newly added wells. The numbers in parentheses immediately following a 

well number indicate the water-supply papers in which earlier records of 

that well are given and the pages on which they appear. An asterisk indicates that a description of the well is given in that paper. For most wells 

the water levels are expressed in feet above an assumed datum, which is 100 

feet below the water level on January 1, 1935. The height of the measuring 

point above datum for wells established since January 1, 1935 , has oeen 

interpolated from the average water level on a selected date in a group of 

wells subject to similar conditions. The records of the water levels are
NEBRASKA, BLAINE COUNTY 139

directly comparable even though the measuring point has been changed, 

because a level is given as a height above a datum that has been referred 

to one or more bench marks.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The cooperative ground-water Investigation of the Geological Survey, 

""-ilted States Department of the Interior, and the North Dakota Geological 

"urvey carried on during the years 1957-41, was continued In 1942. Per- 

'.odlc observations were made on 176 wells, of which 7 were equipped with 

"utomatlc recorders, 60 were measured weekly or semimonthly by local observes (7 of the 60 through the courtesy of city, State, and Federal agencies)

->xid 109 were measured once, twice or three times during the year. A total 

of about 5,951 Individual determinations of water level are included In 

' Ms report. The distribution of the wells Is shown In figure 9.

The detailed ground-water Investigation of the area south of Oakes, 

'.n Dickey County, was continued, and a reconnaissance was made of an area

 '.n the vicinity of Camp Grafton-Port Totten, In Bamsey and Benson Counties. 

A preliminary report of this reconnaissance Is filed in typewritten form 

'.n the offices of the Federal Geological Survey In Washington, D. C., and

*;he Horth Dakota Geological Survey In Grand Porks. The ground-water 

Investigation of Pemblna County, which was begun In 1941, was also continued 

In 1942. A discussion of the Investigation In the Pargo area will be found 

onder Caas County.

WATER LEVELS IN 1942

The following table shows the average monthly water levels from September 1937 to December 1942. The averages for 1942, were computed from 

Mie records of 22 wells. Figure 10, shows that the rise in water levels that 

":egan In March 1941 continued during 1942. The average of the stages 

reached In 1942 Is the highest In the 5-year period of record and is probably the highest in the last 10 years. This Is suggested by the records 

of wells near Denbigh, which have been observed since 1935. (See WaterSupply Paper 958, p. 186). The precipitation in Horth Dakota In 1942 was

about 111 percent of normal.

The recovery of the water levels in wells near Langdon, Cavalier 

County, since pumping stopped is particularly impressive. Rises of water 

level of as much as 23 feet have occurred in some of the wells in the last 

few years, as shown by the graphs of wells 45 and 46 (fig. 10, £). Further 

information on these wells is given under Cavalier County. 

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Observation wells included in this report are listed alphabetically 

by counties and numerically within each county. Complete description^ are 

given only for newly added wells. The water level in each well has been 

exoresaed in feet below a fixed measuring point or in feet above an 

assumed datum plane.

The numbers in parentheses immediately following the numbers of the 

wells refer to the water-supply papers in which earlier records appear 

and the appropriate pages in those papers. An asterisk before the number 

of a water-supply paper indicates that the well la described in that paper.

Cass County 

Fargo area

The investigation of the ground-water resources of the Pargo area,

begun in 1940 in cooperation with the North Dakota Geological Survey and

2/

the city of Pargo was continued In 1942. Field work was completed in the

fall of 1941, but measurements in the observation wells have been continued 

A preliminary report of this investigation was released in 1942 and copies 

were filed at the offices of the City Engineer of Pargo, the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, at Washington, D.C., and 

the State Geologist, Grand Forks, N. Dak. All wells reported under Cass 

County are measured as part of the detailed investigation of the Pargo 

area except wells 8, 10, and 29, which are included in the program of the

Z/ See Water-Supply Papers 908 and 938.
NORTH DAKOTA, CASS COUNTY 235

State as a whole. Seven wells in the Fargo area are in Minnesota and 

these are included in the section of this paper that deals with that State. 

Automatic water-stage recorders were maintained on 6 wells during the year. 

A total of 2,465 individual determinations of water level are given in 

this report. The measurements were made by W. C. Rasmussen, Ralph Mader, 

William Tarbell, H. G. Palmer, and A. L. Greenlee.

The well used by the city of Fargo to supplement its surface-water 

supply was pumped daily from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. during the period July 23 to 

August 30, inclusive. The pumpage for this period totaled about 8,842,000 

gallons.

At the end of 1942 the water levels in wells 3, 5, 12, 28, and 127, 

all of which reflect the pumping of the city well, showed an average rise 

of 4.19 feet above the levels in these wells at the end of 1941. This 

average is^ however, 4.86 feet below the average level at the end of 1940. 

The average rise in 1942 can be attributed to a decrease in pumpage during 

the year; for example, the pumpage from well 14 in 1942 was only about onesixth of the pumpage in 1941.

The water level in well 58, which is affected by the pumping of well 

57, continued the decline in 1942 that had been in progress for several 

years. At the end of 1942, its water level was 6.05 feet below its yearend level in 1941 and 10.96 feet below'its year-end level in 1940.

Shallow wells (Nos. 8, 10, 29, 43, and 122) that tap water in the Lake 

Agassiz silt under water-table conditions had an average net rise in water 

level of 0.88 foot in 1941, and at the end of 1942 the average of their 

water levels was 1.71 feet above their average year-end level in 1940.

Cavalier County

Langdon area

The shallow ground-water supply of the city of Langdon, In Cavalier 

County, has not been adequate during dry seasons. An attempt has been made 

to supplement this supnly with water from deep wells tapping the Dakota 

sandstone, but the artesian water encountered Is unsatisfactory because 

of its high mineral content. Construction of a surface reservoir on a 

nearby Intermittent stream and of a flltratlon-chlorinatlon plant was 

completed In 1941, since which tlire the surface-water supply has been 

adequate and the ground-water supply has,therefore, not been used. The 

precipitation during the period of use of the reservoir has been above 

normal, however, and it' is not yet known whether the runoff will be sufficient

the storage of ground water has been greatly increased and that this storage may be draign on In subsequent years If the supply of surface water 

should prove Inadequate.

SOUTH DAKOTA 

By T. W. Robinson and W. E. Hale

PROGRAM OP OBSERVATIONS

The observation-well program in South Dakota, begun in 1939 in the 

southeastern part of the State, was continued in 1942 by the Geological 

Survey, United States Department of the Interior, in cooperation with the 

South Dakota Geological Survey. During the year 1 well was dropped from the 

program and 7 were added to it. At the end of the year 50 wells were under 

observation. Of the 7 added wells, 1 was established in the Brookings city 

field and 3 in the Sioux Palls city field. Wells in the city fields are 

discussed, under the names of the cities they serve, in the section of this 

report headed "Well descriptions and water-level measurements," in which 

all wells under observation in the State are listed. The water level was 

measured once a week in each of 2 wells, once a month in each of 55 wells, 

and two, three, four, or five times during the year in each of 6 wells; in 

7 wells no measurements were made. A float-tape gage was installed on 1 

well. In all, about 400 individual measurements were made during the year.

GENERAL CONDITIONS IN SOUTHEASTERN PART OP STATE

Water-level measurements in 19 to 23 wells (Nos. 1, 3-5, 7, 8, 21, 22, 

24, 25, 27, 29, 30, 31, 33-38, and 40-42) were used in computing the monthly 

averages for the period of record given in the following table. It will be 

noted that there was an average rise from February to June 1942 of more than 

5 feet, and that in December 1942 the average level was 2.59 feet higher 

than in December 1941 and 3.68 feet higher than in December 1939. During 

the summer of 1942 the water levels in these shallow wells reached their 

highest average stage since December 1939, when the measurements were begun.

Figure 11 shows graphically the fluctuation of the average water level 

since measurements were begun in December 1939. During the period December 

1941 to January 1942 the average water level first rose slightly and then 

declined. Beginning in February 1942 it rose steadily until it reached its 

record high in June, after which it declined more or less steadily until 

about the end of the year. The water levels in all the wells, however, did 

not reach their highest stage in June. Of the group of 23 wells used in 

determining the average level, 13 reached a record high in June, 4 in July, 

3 in May, 2 in September, and 1 in August. The precipitation was below 

normal in January and February, above normal in March, below normal in April, 

decidedly above normal in May* and about normal in June. In general, during 

the period July to December the precipitation was below normal, although in 

some localities it was above normal.

The fluctuations of the water level since December 1939 in 5 representative water-table wells are also shown in figure 11 . The fluctuations 

in these wells are similar to the average fluctuation, shown near the bottom 

of the figure, in the 23 wells that make up the group used in determining 

the average water level. In wells 1 and 5 the water level in 1942 reached 

both Its lowest stage on record and its highest stage on record. The rapid 

rise in that year of the water level in well 5 from its low in April 

to its high in September, amounting to 8.86 feet, was due to heavy rains in 

May and June and again late in August. A float-tape gage waa installed in 

this well and weekly observations have been made on it since August 29. In 

well 24, also, the water level rose to a record high in 1942, but it declined 

so much during the later part of the year that at the end of December it was 

below its stage of December 1939. This 3-year decline may be due in part to 

seasonal pumping for watering stock and in part to the fact that the well is 

in hilly terrain, where the recharge is generally not as great as on flatter 

Iind. The low water level in this well in April 1941 may be the result of 

pumping shortly before the measurement was made.

WELL DESCRIPTIONS AND WATER-LEVEL MEASUREMENTS

Following is a list of the observation wells in South Dakota included 

in the program just discussed. With the exception of those in the three 

city fields, the wells are listed alphabetically by counties and numerically 

within each county. The wells in the city fields included are listed under 

the names of the appropriate cities, which precede the names of the counties. 

Complete descriptions are given for only newly added wells. The numbers in 

parentheses immediately following a well number indicate the water-supply 

papers in which earlier records of that well are given and the pages on 

which they appear. An asterick indicated that a description of the well Is 

given in that paper. The water level in each well is expressed in feet below 

the land-surface datum, which is the average land surface in the vicinity of 

the well.

Municipal wells

Brookings

The city of Brookings is in Brookings County, in T. 110 N., R. 50 W. 

In 1940 it had a population of 5,346. Its water supply is obtained from 5 

wells, 62 feet deep, situated about 1^ miles north of the city and tapping 

water in a valley train in the glacial drift.

Prior to 1930 Brookings obtained its water supply from 3 shallow dug 

wells, 18 feet in diameter, situated about a mile west of the city. At 

first the yield was about 200 gallons a minute from each well, but during 

the period 1925-30 it diminished and at the end of the period the combined 

yield of all 3 wells was only about 200 gallons a minute. Because of this 

low yield an exploratory test-drilling program was carried out in 1930 to 

determine the best location for additional wells. As a result, a site was 

selected 1^ miles north of Brookings, in the NW^-SW-J- sec. 13, T. 110 N., R. 

50 W., where a sand-and-gravel bed about 41 feet thick was encountered at 

a depth of 21 feet. Wells 1 and 2, 32 and 24 inches, respectively, in 

diameter, were jetted to a depth of 62 feet. The static depth to water was 

from 5 to 6 feet below the land surface. Well 1, when tested, yielded about 

1,250 gallons a minute, and well 2, about 1,000 gallons a minute. Well 1 

is pumped at the rater of about 625 gallons a minute and well 2 at about 750 

gallons a minute. On the completion of these two drilled wells the old dug 

wells were abandoned. In 1942 a third well, 22 inches in diameter, was 

drilled to a depth of 62 feet. This well will yield 1,000 gallons a minute 

with a drawdown of 14 feet, but it is pumped at the rate of about 625 gallons 

a minute.

Huron

The recording of water-level measurements in gage hole 1 in the city 

field near Huron, Beadle County, which was begun in 1934, was continued by 

the city in 1942. During most of the year Huron obtained its water supply 

from the James River, but for a period of 22 days, December 8-29, the city 

well field provided the supply, which amounted to- 11,52,8,000 gallons. The 

measurements for the Huron well field were furnished by H. M. Pierce, city 

engineer.

There was a gradual rise in the water level from the beginning of the 

year until the last measurement was made, in October, probably due in part 

to the recovery from previous pumping and in part to unusually heavy rains 

in May, June, and July. No measurements were made in December, the only 

month during which there was pumping from the well field.

Sioux Falla

Sioux Palls ia in Minnehaha County, in southeastern South Dakota. In 

1940 it had a population of 40,832. Its water supply ia obtained from 9 

dug wells of large diameter situated just north of the city limits. In 

addition to supplying its own needs the city furnishes the water required 

by an Army technical school established there In the summer of 1942.

The city well field is in the valley of the Big Sioux River, in the 

S£ sees. 5 and 6, T. 101 N., R. 49 W. Altogether, 13 wells have been constructed, but 4 of these have been abandoned. The wells obtain water from 

a deposit of fine to medium sand that overlies a bed of clay. The depth to 

the clay bed ranges from 30 to 45 feet below the land surface, as does also 

the depth of the wells. It is reported that there is about 6 feet of soil 

and that the underlying sand contains a few boulders. Brief information 

about the wells is given in the following table.

Because of the heavy draft on the ground-water supply it was considered 

desirable to obtain Information on the fluctuations of water level in the 

vicinity of the well field, and to this end, 3 observation wells were established In November 1942 by the Geological Survey, United States Department 

of the Interior, In the vicinity of the well field.

By L. K. Wenzel and D. IS. Ireland

Periodic observations of the water levela in wella in Monroe and Vernon 

Counties, Wia., in the Coon Creek area, which were begun in 1934, were continued during 1942 by the Geological Survey, United Statea Department of 

the Interior. Obaervationa on 1 of the 10 wells (No. 3) included in the 

report for 1941 were diacontinued that year, and hence meaaurementa in only 

9 wella were uaed for computing average water levela in 1942. During the 

year about 108 individual meaaurementa were made in theae 9 wella. Prank 

J. Pencl made the meaaurementa.

The average water level near the beginning of the year, aa ahown by 

meaaurementa made on January 17 and 18, waa 10.67 feet above the assumed 

datum planea, nearly the same as a year earlier when on January 4 and 5, it 

was 10.62 feet. The average water level rose to the higheat recorded atage 

in 1942 12.03 feet above the datum planes on June 6 and 7, declined to 

11.09 feet by Auguat 31, and recovered to 11.59 feet by the end of the year. 

There waa thua a net average riae of 0.92 foot from January 17-18 to 

December 30-31. The average atage at the end of 1942 waa the higheat yearend atage recorded aince Obaervationa were begun in 1934.
