INTRODUCTION 

By O. M. Hackett

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Southwestern: 1956-60, 1961-65, 1966-70, etc.
GROUND-WATER LEVELS, 1956-60, SOUTHWESTERN STATES

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

wells has been 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.

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-surf ace datum is a precise datum plane that is approximately at land surface at each well. If known, the altitude of the land-surface datum above 

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

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

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

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

Joy L. Charbonneau was responsible for the compilation of this report; James O. Runyan 

was responsible for the illustrations.
ARIZONA

By M. B. Booher and E. K. Morse

The observation-well program in Arizona, continued during 1956 through 1960, is an integral part of the Statewide ground-water survey conducted by the U. S. Geological Survey, Ground 

Water Branch, in cooperation with the Arizona State Land Department.

Irrigation districts, cities, well drillers, water and power companies, government agencies, 

and individuals have been helpful in providing data. Figure 2 shows the location of observation 

wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

The well numbers used by the U. S. Geological Survey in Arizona are in accordance with 

the Bureau of Land Management's system of land subdivision. The land survey in Arizona is 

based on the Gila and Salt River meridian and base line, which divide the State into four quadrants. These quadrants are designated counterclockwise by the capital letters A, B, C, and D. 

All land north and east of the point of origin is in A quadrant, that north and west in B quadrant, 

that south and west in C quadrant, and that south and east in D quadrant. The first digit of a 

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 after the section number indicate the well 

location within the section. The first letter denotes a particular 160-acre tract, the second the 

40-acre tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. These letters also are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. If the location is known within a 10-acre 

tract, three lowercase letters are shown in the well number. For example, well number (D-4-5) 

19caa designates the well in NEjNEiSWi sec. 19, T. 4 S., R. 5 E. Where there is more than 

one well within a 10-acre tract, consecutive numbers beginning with 1 are added as suffixes.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

CALIFORNIA

By E. J. McClelland, W. R. Moyle, Jr., and R. E. Evenson

The observation-well program in California was continued in the period 1956 through 1960 

in cooperation with the California Department of Water Resources and Santa Barbara County. 

Figure 3 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

The well-numbering system shows the location of wells according to the rectangular system of public-land surveys. Water-Supply Paper 991 contains a cross-reference table of previous numbers and location symbols. For well 5/10-6N1, in Antelope Valley in Los Angeles 

County, the segment of the number before the hyphen indicates the township and range (T. 5 N., 

R. 10 W.). Letters indicating cardinal directions appear in this part of the symbol if a basin or 

area spans two or more quadrants of a particular base and meridian. The digits between the 

hyphen and the letter indicate the section (sec. 6), and the letter indicates the 40-acre tract 

within the section as shown by the following diagram. Within the 40-acre tract, the wells are 

numbered serially as indicated by the final digit of the symbol. Thus, well 5/10-6N1 was the 

first well listed by the U. S. Geological Survey in the SW^SWi sec. 6, T. 5 N., R. 10 W. For 

a well located only approximately, the symbol is shortened to the designation of township, range 

and section only. For areas which have never been subdivided by public-land surveys, the rectangular system has been projected, commonly after private surveys or after projections made 

by local officials for purposes of land assessment. The description and records are given by 

counties in alphabetical sequence and for each county by valleys or ground-water basins. Thus, 

each group of data pertains to a distinct ground-water area as indicated by subheadings in the 

report. Under each subhead the records are presented in numerical order of the location symbols.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

HAWAII

By K. J. Takasaki

Systematic water-level measurements in Hawaii were begun in 1910 by the Public Works 

Department of the Territory of Hawaii. In 1917 the measurements were taken over by the Division of Hydrography of the Department of Public Lands, and since 1930 the observations have 

been made in a cooperative program carried on by the U. S. Geological Survey and the Division 

of Hydrography. Beginning in 1935 the records of measurements were published in the annual 

series of water-supply papers issued by the Geological Survey. Earlier records are published 

in bulletins issued by the Hawaii Division of Hydrography and prepared in cooperation with the 

Geological Survey. Figure 4 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Beginning with number 1 at some point on each island, drilled wells of Hawaii are numbered consecutively as they occur in geographic sequence around the island. Single wells separated from others and pumped separately are numbered individually. Wells in a closely spaced 

group used to supply a central pumping plant are included under a single number with each well 

distinguished by a letter. In some areas certain numbers are left unassigned for the designation 

of new wells when they are drilled. Holes drilled especially for test or observation purposes 

are called test borings. Test borings on each island are numbered consecutively as they are 

drilled, beginning with "V and are distinguished by a "T" before each number. Shaft-type wells 

are numbered consecutively as they are dug and are distinguished by the word "shaft" before each 

number.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

All ground-water levels in Hawaii are reported in feet above mean sea level. A landsurface datum is an arbitrary plane for each well, test hole, or shaft which approximates the 

ground surface and which may be above or below the point from which the water level is measured.

Island of Hawaii

NEVADA

By R. A. Lyman, Jr.

The observation-well program in Nevada was continued during the period 1956 through 

1960 in cooperation with the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, State of Nevada. 

Figure 5 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Number ing System

The number assigned to a well is both an identification and a location number. It is based 

on the Mount Diablo base line and meridian network of surveys established by the General Land 

Office (now known as the U. S. Bureau of Land Management). A typical well number is composed 

of three segments. The first segment indicates the township north of the Mount Diablo base line; 

if the township is south of the base line, the number is preceded by the letter "S." The second 

segment, separated from the first by a slant, indicates the range east of the Mount Diablo meridian. The third segment, separated from the second by a hyphen, indicates the section and the 

location of the well within the section. Lowercase letters a, b, c, and d--assigned in a counterclockwise direction, designate the northeast, northwest, southwest, and southeast quarter sections, 

quarter-quarter sections, and quarter-quarter-quarter sections (160-acre, 40-acre, and 10-acre 

tracts). If two or more wells are in the subdivision, consecutive numbers are assigned in the 

order in which the well data are recorded. Thus, well number S10/60-4dabl designates the first 

well recorded in the NWiNEiSEi sec. 4, T. 10 S., R. 60 E.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

When some measurements in a table are above and others below the plane of reference, a plus 

(+) or minus (-) sign is placed immediately before the first entry in each column. Measurements 

between plus signs are above the plane of reference, and those between minus signs are below.

NEW MEXICO

By H. O. Reeder and W. C. Ballance

The' observation-well program, which has been in progress in parts of New Mexico since 

1925, was continued during 1956 through 1960 in cooperation with the State Engineer of New 

Mexico. However, the total observation-well program is much more extensive than the wells 

covered in this report. Other data collected are published annually in the Technical Report 

series of the State Engineer. Measurements of water levels in observation wells in the Virden 

Valley in Hidalgo County were made by the Arizona office of the U. S. Geological Survey. 

Figure 6 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Number ing System

The system of numbering wells in New Mexico, except the thermal wells in the Truth or 

Consequences area in Sierra County, is based on the common subdivision of public lands into 

sections. The well number is based on the New Mexico principal meridian and base line except 

in the Sangre de Cristo Grant in Taos County, where it is based on a system of sectionized land 

used in Colorado and extended into that part of the land grant in New Mexico.

The well number, in addition to designating the well, locates its position to the nearest 10- 

acre tract in the land net. The number is divided by periods into four segments. The first segment denotes the township north or south of the New Mexico base line; the second, the range east 

or west of the New Mexico principal meridian; the third, the section; and the fourth, the particular tract in which the well is situated. In a county where wells are situated both north and south 

of the base line, such as Roosevelt County, an N is added to the first segment of the well number 

if the well is north of the base line. Similarly, in a county where wells are both east and west of 

the meridian, an E is added to the second segment of the number if the well is east of the meridian. In counties entirely within one quadrant of the principal meridian and base line, the direction 

north or south of the base line or east or west of the meridian is not given.

The fourth segment of the number, which consists of three digits, denotes the particular 

10-acre tract,in which the well is situated. For this purpose, the section is divided into four 

quarters, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4, in the normal reading order, for the northwest, northeast, 

southwest, and southeast quarters. The first digit of the fourth segment gives the quarter section. 

Similarly, the quarter section is divided into four 40-acre tracts numbered in the same manner, 

and the second digit denotes the 40-acre tract. Finally, the 40-acre tract is divided into four 

10-acre tracts, and the third digit denotes the 10-acre tract. Thus, well 12. 36. 24. 342 in Lea 

County is located in the NEjSEiSWi sec. 24, T. 12 S., R. 36 E. If a well cannot be located 

within a 10-acre tract, a zero is used as the third digit, and if it cannot be located within a 40- 

acre tract, zeros are used for both the second and third digits. If the well cannot be located 

more closely than the section, the fourth segment of the well number is omitted. When it becomes possible to locate more accurately a well in whose number zeros have been used, the 

proper digit or digits are substituted for the zeros. In Water-Supply Paper 911 and earlier reports, the digits corresponding to unknown 10-acre and 40-acre tracts were simply omitted; but 

this practice caused some confusion in cataloging the wells. In Water-Supply Paper 941 and subsequent reports, wells whose numbers end in one or two zeros correspond to wells whose numbers in earlier reports are the same except for the omission of such zeros. Letters a, b, c, 

etc., are added to the last segment to designate the second, third, fourth, and succeeding wells 

in the same 10-acre tract.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

All measurements of water level in this report are given in feet above or below landsurface datum, which approximates the land surface at the well.
