WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE IN OBSERVATION WELLS

Part 3. NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

INTRODUCTION 

By A. N. Sayre and others

Significance of records of water level and artesian pressure 

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 period 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, whether for public waterworks, Irrigation, or 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.

Annual publication of records by Geological Survey 

The regular publication of records of water level and artesian pressure In the United States was begun by the Geological Survey In 1935 and 

has continued yearly since. The records for the entire country were published In a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940 the 

records have been published In six volumes, covering the northeastern, 

southeastern, north-central, south-central, northwestern, and southwestern 

sections of the country. Hawaii Is Included In the southwestern section. 

(See fig.. 1.) The following table gives the numbers of these reports. 

This series of water-supply papers Is In a sense an Inventory, year by year, 

of the ground-water supplies of such parts of the country as have been 

covered.

Scope of present volume

The present volume covers the north-central States and gives records 

of water level and artesian pressure In about 1,685 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and cooperating agencies in Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, 

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and Wisconsin. Of these wells, 

60 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For some wells not 

previously reported complete records of water level are given In this 

volume, Including those of the years before 1945. For wells whose previous records have been published this volume gives only the current records. 

If a complete description of a well has been published In a previous report, only the well number or the well number and a brief identifying description are given in this report. The numbers in parentheses Immediately 

following a well number are those of 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 the paper 

whose number Is so marked. This report Includes about 15,345 Individual 

determinations of water level and artesian pressure.

Land-surface datum

Before 1943, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian pressures for some wells were given in feet above or below the measuring points and for other wells in feet above or below sea level or above 

or below various assumed datum planes. It had been considered Inadvisable 

to adopt a standard procedure in expressing water levels and artesian 

heads until after a period of trial with datum planes of different kinds.
INTRODUCTION 3

In 1943, however, it was decided that uniform practice should be adopted. 

Accordingly precise datum planes were established approximating the land 

surface at each well. The water levels and artesian heads for all wells 

listed in this report are given in reference to land-surface datum planes.

Figure 1. Outline map of the United States showing sections of the country 

covered by the six water-supply papers on water levels and artesian 

pressure in observation wells in 1946. The shaded section represents 

the part of the country covered by this volume.

If the water levels or artesian heads are referred to land-surface datum 

for the first time, a conversion factor is given in the descriptive matter 

preceding them in order to facilitate comparison of the older and newer 

records. Wherever the conversion factor is given in earlier reports it 

is not repeated in this report. New data as to the positions of the 

measuring point and of the bench marks, in feet above or below land-surface 

datum planes, will be published in succeeding annual reports.

Network of key observation wells

During 1942 the Geological Survey established a network of key observation wells in order to make available current information on general 

ground-water conditions over the country. These wells were selected
4 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

because the fluctuations of water level in them are believed to be typical 

and they represent the general fluctuations that occur in the parts of the 

country in which the wells are situated. At the end of 1946 the network 

included about 160 wells in 45 States. About 40 of the wells were established expressly for the network in 1942 and about 20 were established in 

1943; the other 100 were selected from wells measured regularly In connection with cooperative ground-water investigations. 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.

Changes in ground-water level in 1946 in the north-central part of the

United States

In 1946 the precipitation in the north-central section of the country 

was average or above with the exception of North Dakota and Wisconsin 

where it was somewhat below normal. The fluctuations of both water level 

and artesian pressure in wells depend, however, on many factors besides 

the amount of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells there 

are fluctuations caused by differences in the rate of pumping or artesian 

flow. A summary of changes in ground-water level is given in the chapter 

for each State.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Measurements of water level were continued in 1946 in a well at 

Prineeton, Bureau County, the only well in Illinois in the Nation-wide 

network of observation wells. It is equipped with a float-tape gage and 

was first observed in 1942. Since then measurements have been made approximately once a week.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of the water level in the well at Princeton during 

1946 varied from a low of 19.11 feet below land-surface datum, on October 

19, to the high for the year of 4.65 feet below land-surface datum on 

January 5. The year closed on December 28 with the water level at 15.78 

£«et below land-surface datum or 11.13 feet lower than the water level at 

the start of the year. The average water level for the last 3 months of 

the year was 18.06 feet below land-surface datum compared with the average 

water level of 6.71 feet below land-surface datum for the first 3 months, 

a difference of 11.35 feet.

PROGRAM OF WORK

Measurements of the water level In observation wells In Iowa were 

continued In 1946 In cooperation with the Iowa Geological Survey. Most 

of the observation wells were established In 1958. In a few observation 

wells In the Tarklo Creek Valley, In southwestern Iowa, measurements were 

begun In 1954 through a program organized by the Federal Geological Survey 

In which the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of 

Agriculture participated for several years. All of these wells are now 

Included In one program for the State.

Past records of the water-level measurements made In the wells* In the 

Tarklo Creek area are published In Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 840, 845, 

886, 908, 936, 988, 1018, and 1025, and those for the wells established 

In 1958 first appear In Water-Supply Paper 886,

At the beginning of 1946 measurements were being made on 174 wells In 

39 counties throughout the State. (See figure 2 for map showing location 

of observation wells In 1946.) During the year 4 wells were dropped from 

the program, and 1 well was added to the program, making a total of 171 

wells In the observation-well program at the end of the year. Automatic 

water-stage recorders were being maintained on 10 wells at the cloae of 

the year. Water-level measurements were being made weekly on 7 wells, 

monthly on 51 wells, and quarterly on most of the remaining wells. Approximately 1,250 water-level measurements were made in 1946 as contributions 

to the observation-well program. In addition, many water-level measurements 

were made in connection with pumping tests and in gathering data on new 

wells throughout the State. These additional measurements and descriptions 

of wells are not included in this report.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The average precipitation over the State in 1946 was 35.15 inches, 

about 3.45 inches above normal and about 1.5 inches above the average for 

1945. Above-normal precipitation occurred over most of the State during 

the months of January, March, May, June, September, and October. During 

August and November the precipitation was normal, but was below normal 

during the other months.

Water levels in shallow wells in Iowa fluctuated in phase with rainfall. The highest water levels occurred in March, April, May, and June; 

the water levels then declined in general during the remainder of the year.

The following table shows the average net change in the water level 

between December 1945 and December 1946 in groups of shallow wells, by 

counties, throughout the State. The precipitation for 1946 at the nearest 

U. S. Weather Bureau station and the departure from normal is also shown.

Shallow observation wells were established in 1934 in the Tarkio Creek 

area, which covers parts of Montgomery and Page Counties, in Iowa, and 

Atchison County, Missouri. Water-level measurements have been made on this 

group of wells at least once a month for almost the e-ntire period of record. 

In 1946 these measurements were made by Daniel L. Hummel and Dean W. Rnox. 

Records of the water levels in wells in the Missouri part of the area are 

given in the section of this report which deals with that State.

Measurements in 10 wells (Nos. 1, 5, 6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 

17) were used in computing the average water level for each month in 1946. 

These averages are given in the following table.

The fluctuation of the average water level in this area as indicated 

by 10 to 11 wells and the precipitation at Shenandoah since 1934 are shown 

by months in figure 3.

The flucutation of the water level in 1946 in a shallow unused well 

in the southern part of Webster County, near Harcourt, is shown in figure 

4. This well is 41.8 feet deep, taps water in the glacial drift, and 

is representative of several shallow observation wells in the county which 

tap the same water-bearing bed.

Well 83-7-11E1, at Cedar Rapids, Linn County, is illustrative of wells 

affected by seasonal draft on aquifers such as those pumped for air-conditioning. Figure 5 shows the fluctuations of the water level in this 

well for the year 1946. In this graph the daily noon water level is shown 

as a point unless the fluctuation is more than 0.4 foot, in which case it 

Is shown as a vertical line connecting the high and low water level for the 

day. The well is finished at a depth of 195 feet in the upper part of a 

dolomite strata which is locally about 400 feet thick. Most of the wells 

in Cedar Rapids develop water supplies for air-conditioning and industrial 

use from these strata. The observation well is about 3 miles from the 

heavily pumped area and about half a mile from two wells used for airconditioning and industrial purposes.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The numbers assigned by the Federal Geological Survey to its observation wells in Iowa, other than those in the Tarkio Creek area, show the 

location of the wells according to the rectangular system for subdivision 

of public land. Each well number is made up of three segments, separated 

by hyphens. The first and second segments indicate the township and range. 

The third segment includes the section, followed by a letter representing 

the 40-acre subdivision of the section, as shown by the diagram, and the 

serial number of the particular well. 

838756 0 49 2

IOWA, BUENA VISTA COUNTY 15

The letter E is added to the second segment representing the range 

when a well is located east of the fifth principal meridian. In the number 

of the other wells, it is understood that the range indicated is west of 

the meridian.

For example, the number 76-31-25P1 indicates a well in T. 76 N., 

R. 31 W., in the SE-|6W£ sec. 25, whose serial number is 1.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The observation-well program in Kansas was continued in 1946.in 

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

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

of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health. In addition to the 

State agencies named, the city of Wichita cooperated in Harvey, McPherson, 

and Sedgwick Counties. Six counties not heretofore included, Osborne, 

Phillips, Reno, Rice, Saline, and Smith, were added to the program in 

1946 and one county, Cherokee, was dropped making 47 counties in which 

wells were observed at the end of the year. Also an observation-well 

program was started in the Smoky Hill Valley in McPherson County.

Results of cooperative ground-water investigations in the following 

areas were published in 1946: Geology and ground-water resources of

Thomas County;=/ The Cheyenne sandstone and adjacent formations of a part

g/ of Russell County;-' Geology and ground-water resources of Grant, Haskell,

and Stevens Counties;5/ Ground-water conditions in Elm Creek Valley, 

Barber County;-^/ Ground-water conditions in Arkansas River Valley in the 

vicinity of Hutchinson;-/ and Cretaceous stratigraphy of the Belvidere 

area, Kiowa County.^/

42 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

~kt the beginning of 1946, periodic water-level measurements were 

being made in 444 observation wells in the State. During the year 

measurements were discontinued in 31 wells and begun or resumed in 67 wells. 

At the end of the year 480 wells were under observation. Of the wells 

measured in 1946, 130 were measured quarterly, 314 monthly, 4 semimonthly, 

23 weekly, and water-stage recorders were maintained on 10. The recorders 

on four of these wells one in Pinney County, one in Grant County, and 

two in Scott County are maintained by the Division of Water Resources 

of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. During the year 4,887 wettedtape measurements were made in the State. For convenience, the data 

given in this paragraph have been arranged in tabular form, by counties, 

as follows:

Osborne County 

By A. R. Leonard

During the fall of 1945 an investigation of the geology and groundwater conditions along the North Pork of Solomon River was started by the 

Federal Geological Survey as a part of the program of development of the 

Missouri Basin by the Bureau of Reclamation and other Federal agencies. 

This investigation was coordinated with the ground-water program that was 

being carried on in Kansas in cooperation with the State Geological Survey 

of Kansas, the Division of Sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health, 

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

This investigation was continued during the early months of 1946 and ultimately included a narrow area along the North Pork of Solomon River extending from the western edge of Phillips County east and southeast across 

southern Phillips County, southwestern Smith County, northeastern Osborne 

County, and northwestern Mitchell County to the confluence of the North 

and South Porks of the Solomon River, in northwestern Mitchell County.

Quaternary terrace deposits occur along the Solomon River and it is 

from these sediments and from Recent alluvium that most of the wells along 

the valley obtain water supplies. Exceptions are wells along the outer 

slopes of Solomon Valley which may obtain meager water supplies from
KANSAS, OSBORNE COUNTY 105

weathered or broken chalks or shales of Cretaceous age or from coarse sand 

and gravel deposits that occur at the base of the Pleistocene Sanborn 

formation. In the areas bordering the valley, where Cretaceous chalks and 

shales crop out or occur near the surface, It is extremely difficult to 

obtain more than a meager supply of water. Many farm ponds have been 

constructed In these areas to serve as water-supply reservoirs for stock 

and also to furnish recharge to shallow wells.

In December 1945 biweekly measurements of water levels by the wettedtape method were started. Two measurements were made In 1945 in five 

wells in Osborne County, five in Phillips County, and seven in Smith County.

During 1946 the number of observation wells was increased to 6 in 

Osborne County, 11 in Phillips County, and 8 in Smith County. Biweekly 

measurements were continued until- April, and one measurement was made in 

June. In September monthly measurements were started and continued until 

the end of 1946. In October a water-stage recorder wa.s installed on well 

6-ll-34aa.

Measurements were made by Milton Sears, John Sears, and the writer. 

In all, 35 individual measurements of water levels were made during 1945 

and 298 during 1946.

Reno County 

By C. C. Williams

An investigation of ground-water conditions in the Arkansas River 

Valley, in the vicinity of Hutchinson was made in the fall of 1945 in 

cooperation with the Kansas Geological Survey, the city of Hutchinson, the
110 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

Kansas State Board of Health, and the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. 

A report of the investigation was published by the Kansas Geological 

Survey in December 1946 (Bull. 64, pt. 5).

As a result of the Survey's investigation, a location for a new and 

much softer city supply was discovered, and development of the new area 

is planned by the city. As development proceeds, additional observation 

wells will be located and measurements reported.

The water level in well 86, in the city, had been observed for several 

years by the Hutchinson Water Company and measurements are being continued 

by the Geological Survey.

By 0. S. Pent

A survey of the geology and ground-water resources of Rice County, 

was begun in the fall of 1945 by the State Geological Survey of Kansas 

and the Federal Geological Survey, 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.

Wells in Rice County obtain water from gravel, sand, and silt of 

alluvial and terrace deposits and from Cretaceous sandstone and Permian 

shale. Periodic water-level measurements by the wetted-tape method were 

made in 22 observation wells in 1946 by John M. Sears and the writer.

Saline County

By fc. F. Latta

Fifteen observation wells were constructed in the Smoky Hill River 

Valley in Saline and McPherson Counties during March and April 1946 in 

cooperation with the Bureau of Reclamation, as part of the Kanopolis 

Reservoir project. Of the 15 "wells, 11 are in Saline County and 4 are in 

McPherson County. They consist of 1-J-inch galvanized-iron pipe and 

screened drive points and were put down by John Sears using a hand auger 

and driving block. Altitudes of the measuring points were determined 

with a plane table and alidade by C. K. Bayne and Norbert Riebel. All of 

the wells tap alluvium in the Smoky Hill River Valley.

Periodic measurements of the water level in the 15 wells by the 

wetted-tape method were started in July 1946, and 116 measurements, in all, 

were made during the year by John Sears.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Periodic measurements of water level were made In three wells In 

Minnesota in 1946. A total of 143 measurements was made during the year.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The maximum amount of fluctuation during the year In the well In Brown 

County was 2.93 feet. The minimum depth to water occurred on October 15, 

when the reading of 3.78 feet below land-surface was made. The greatest 

depth to water occurred on September 3, when the depth was 6.71 feet. 

The year closed with water levels 1.39 feet higher than at the beginning 

of the year.

Weekly measurements of water level were also made In the other two 

wells, one near the town of Deer River, In Itasca County, the other at 

Eveleth, In St. Louis County.

MISSOURI

By J. B. Cooper and Phyllis T- Mosley

PROGRAM OF WORK

Water-level measurments were made In Atchison County In 1946 as part 

of the Tarklo Creek Valley observation-well program organized by the Federal 

Geological Survey in 1934 in which the Soil Conservation Service of the 

United States Department of Agriculture participated for several years. 

The Atchison County section consists of 17 wells in 1946 in which 158 

single measurements were made by D- L- Hummel and D- W. Knox, observers of 

the Tarkio Creek well program. The measurements of the observation well 

in Grundy County were continued on a weekly basis. W. H. Estes, owner of 

the Grundy County observation well has been the observer since its establishment 

The water levels in the Phelps County wells were measured monthly by 

engineers from the Rolla office of the Survey's division of surface water, 

through the courtesy of H. C- Bolon, district engineer. A total of 26 

measurements was made in these two wells in 1946. 

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

In the Grundy County well the maximum fluctuation of water levels was 

5.32 feet with the highest reading of 1.92 feet below land-surface datum 

occurring on March 11 and 18, and the lowest reading of 7.24 feet below 

land-surface datum occurring on December 8- The water level was 1.19 feet 

lowar on December 29 than it was at the close of 1945. Fluctuations of 

water levels in wells in Atchison County, together with the other wells in 

the Tarkio Creek area, are discussed in the section of this volume that 

deals with Iowa.

PROGRAM OP WORK

The State-wide program of water-level measurements in observation 

wells in Nebraska, begun in 1934 in cooperation with the Conservation and 

Survey Division of the University of Nebraska, was continued in 1946. 

Records of water levels in the wells and some interpretation of the 

fluctuations of the water levels 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, 

938, 946, 988, 1018, and 1025. ,

Measurements of water levels made in 753 wells are given in the 

present report. Included in this group are 258 wells in the observation 

of which the following organizations are cooperating informally: Grand 

Island Water Department, 46 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, 1 well in Arthur County, 22 wells in Dawson County, 2 wells in 

Garden County, 22 wells in Gosper County, 56 wells in Keith County, 69 

wells in Lincoln County, and 8 wells in Phelps County; Loup River Public 

Power District, 10 wells in Platte County; Platte Valley Public Power and 

Irrigation District, 2 wells in Keith County, 9 wells in Lincoln County. 

Weekly tape measurements given for well 85 in Morrlll County were furnished 

by the Nebraska Department of Roads and Irrigation.

Automatic water-stage recorders were in operation on 14 wells. Of 

these, the following wells are equipped with 60-day continuous recorders: 

1-11-llba (near Red Cloud, Webster County)

I-40-29bb (near Haigler, Dundy County) 

3-25-4bb (near Cambridge, Purnas County) 

9-14-ldc (near Gibbon, Buffalo County)

II-ll-25cc (near Alda, Hall County)

The remaining wells, listed below, are equipped with 8-day recorders: 

9-12-9ba (near Shelton, Hall County)

13-36-9ad) (near Korty» Kelth County)

14-33-27da (near O'Fallons, Lincoln County)

17-16-26dc (near Arcadia, Valley County)

24-48-10bt))

24-48-31ba) (near Alliance, Box Butte County)

25-48-14aa)

25-45-32ad (near Antloch, Sheridan County)

The two wells near Korty and the one near O'Fallons are serviced each 

week by Warren Doolittle of the Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation 

District.

A staff gage was installed near well 25-48-14aa at the north end of 

Bower Lake, near Antioch, in Sheridan County, for the purpose of making 

comparisons between the fluctuations of the water level in the lake and 

in well 25-48-14aa, which is equipped with an automatic water-stage recorder. The staff-gage readings are included with the water-level measurements of wells in Sheridan County.

Tables have been included showing the total monthly purapage for the 

public supplies for the city of Grand Island and for the city of Lincoln 

at its well field near A'shland. Monthly measurements of the water level 

in well A13-9-24eo (US 62), just west of the Lincoln city well field, near 

Ashland, are given under the heading Saunders County. This well la one 

of eight key wells in Nebraska and the water level in the well is measured 

by personnel of the Ashland pumping station.

Monthly measurements of the water levels in eight key wells in 

Nebraska were continued during 1946. Measurements from these wells form 

the basis of statements of water-level conditions in Nebraska that are 

published currently in the monthly Water Resources Review.

In all, 5,500 individual measurements of water level were made in 

Nebraska in 1946.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The precipitation in Nebraska in 1946 was 24.55 inches, 1.99 inches 

above normal and 1.85 inches above that of 1945. Water levels in many 

wells were the highest ever recorded as a result of heavy rains in late 

September and in early October.

The following tables summarize for each observation well the highest 

and the lowest water level of record and the difference between them, the 

net change in water level in 1946, the length of record, and the net change 

in water level during the entire period of record.

PUMPAGE

The following tables give the total pumpage for the public supplies 

of Lincoln and Grand Island. The public supply for the city of Lincoln 

is pumped from nine wells installed on the flood plain of the Platte River, 

about 3 miles north of Ashland. The first pumping from the Lincoln well 

field, near Ashland, began in August 1932, and by the end of 1946 a total 

of approximately 42,878.3 million gallons of water had been withdrawn from 

the ground-water reservoir. The public supply at Grand Island is obtained 

by pumping from a group of wells drilled into the Pleistocene sands and 

gravels of the Platte Valley and situated for the most part within the

city, i/_________

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The following well-numbering system has been adopted in the Missouri 

Basin and is being used in Nebraska for the first time in this report. 

The State has been divided into two principal divisions. The numbers of 

those wells located east of the 6th Principal Meridian, which passes 

through Columbus, are preceded by the capital letter A. Those located west 

of Columbus have no preceding letter. The first number indicates the township, the second the range, and the third the section. The lower-case 

letters which follow the section number indicate the position of the well 

within the section, the first letter indicating the quarter section and 

the second letter the quarter-quarter section. The letters a, b, £, and 

d are applied counter-clockwise beginning with a in the northeast quadrant. 

The last numeral indicates the number of the well within the tract of land 

indicated by the last letter. No number is shown unless more than one well 

is located within the given tract of land.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Ground-water investigations and the measurement of water levels in 

observation wells in North Dakota were continued in 1946 in cooperation 

with the Horth Dakota State Geological Survey and the Horth Dakota State 

Water Conservation Commission. At the end of 1946 water levels were being 

measured in 158 observation wells, of which 15 were equipped with automatic 

water-stage recorders. Water levels in 19 wells were being measured weekly 

by local observers. Measurements were discontinued in 10 wells. Records 

of a total of 1,517 water-level measurements are given in this report and, 

in addition, 2,904 water-level determinations obtained from the wells 

equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.

Field work in connection with the investigation of the ground-water 

conditions in the vicinity of Minot was completed in 1946 and field work 

was done in connection with studies of the ground-water conditions in the 

vicinities of the towns of Pessenden, Maddock, Minnewaukan, and Buxton, 

and also in the Pargo-Moorhead area in Cass County, Horth Dakota, and 

Clay County, Minnesota. Reports on ground-water conditions in the 

vicinities of Mountain, Oakes, Pessenden, and Dickinson, all in North 

Dakota, were published in mimeographed form.

PRECIPITATION

The average annual precipitation for the State in 1946, as reported 

by the United States Weather Bureau, was 16.65 inches or 0.45 inch below 

the 1892-1946 average. Departures from normal precipitation range from 

-5.60 inches to -1-6.30 inches at different stations in the State. Greatest 

negative departures from the normal occurred in the north-central part of 

the State near the Canadian border and the greatest positive departures 

occurred in the south-central part of the State near the South Dakota 

border. In general, the precipitation was below normal in the northern

half of the State and above normal in the southern half. Average

precipitation for the State was below normal for all months except February, 

March, September, and December. The greatest monthly departures were 

-1.25 Inches In October and +0.95 inch In September.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The average monthly water levels for the State from 1957 through 1946 

are shown In the following table. These averages are based on water-level 

measurements In selected observation wells. The averages for 1946 were 

computed from records from eight wells distributed over the State In which 

water levels were measured weekly. Three of these wells are In the Red 

River drainage basin, one In the Devils Lake region, one In the Souris 

River drainage basin and three in the Missa .liver drainage basin. 

Figure 7 is a graphical presentation of these data.

As in previous years, the water levels were low during the winter, 

the lowest stage of the year occurring In January. The water levels rose 

slightly in February and declined slightly In March, but rose rapidly in 

April and May due to recharge from melting snow In conjunction with thawing 

of the ground surface. The highest water levels of the year were attained 

in May. After May, the water levels dropped until September. They rose 

slightly during October and November, probably due to rainfall In September 

and October, and then dropped slightly in December. The average water level 

for December 1946 was 0.13 foot higher than the average for December 1945.

The following table shows the general fluctuations and net change in 

ground-water levels during 1946 in several regions in the State according 

to drainage basins. The regions are (1) the Red River basin, exclusive of 

the Souris and the upper part of the Sheyenne, (2) the Devils Lake and 

Upper Sheyenne River basin, (3) the James River basin, (4) the Souris River 

basin, and (5) the Missouri River basin, exclusive of the James. This 

table indicates a net decline for the year in all regions except one, while 

the computations from the eight wells described above indicate an average 

net rise in water level. This apparent discrepancy is due to the fact that 

data from many of the wells used in preparing the table by drainage basins 

are obtained in the early fall of the year. The average water level for 

September 1946, as computed from the 8 wells, was 0.64 foot lower than that 

for September 1945.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The well numbers have been changed in this report to conform to a 

well-numbering system now being adopted for reports in all the Missouri 

Basin States. The numbering system is based upon the common land subdivisions and has been used previously, with minor variations, in reporting 

records of wells in many of the States outside the Missouri Basin. The 

numbers given to. the wells, according to this system, serve the dual 

purpose of designating one well from another and of giving its location 

within the coordinate net of townships and ranges. In this report the new 

number is reported first in the well description of each individual well 

and the number used for the well in previous publications is given in 

parenthesis immediately following the new well number.

In North Dakota, the land descriptions are referred to the base line 

which follows the Kansas-Nebraska State lines and to the fifth principal 

meridian. Thus, all of North Dakota is in the northwest quadrant of «the 

coordinate system, i. e., all townships are north and all ranges are west.
312 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1946, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

The new numbers are divided into parts by numbers and letters. The 

first number gives the township, the second the range, and the third, the 

section in which the well is situated. The subdivisions of the section 

are the quarter-section, the 40-acre tract within the quarter-section, 

and the 10-acre tract within the 40-acre tract. These are indicated by 

lower-case letters following the third number. The first letter gives 

the quarter-section, the letters a, b, c, and d referring to the NEi, 

the HW£, the SW£, and the SE£, respectively. Likewise, the second letter 

refers to the 40-acre tract within the quarter-section and the third 

letter refers to the respective 10-acre tract within the 40-acre tract.

The lower-case letters are again followed by a number which refers to 

the numerical order in which the wells were scheduled in the smallest tract 

of land indicated by the last lower-case letter. If, for instance, two 

wells were scheduled in a tract of land and the locations of the wells 

were given by the same lower-case letters, then the wells would be designated by the numbers 1 and 2 following the letter.

In this report, the locations of most of the wells are given only to 

the nearest 40-acre tract but the locations of some are given to the 

nearest 10-acre tract. As an example of the use of the well number to 

designate the location of the well, the fi»st well scheduled in the SW^SW^ 

sec. 14, T. 130 N., R. 97 W. is numbered 130.97.14ccl. If a second well 

is scheduled in this same tract of land, it is numbered 130.97.14cc2.

WISCONSIN

By P. C. Poley 

PROGRAM OP WORK

Observations of water levels in wells in Wisconsin were continued 

during 1946. The period of record at the end of 1946 was over 2 years for 

10 wells in the northern Wisconsin River Valley and over 12 years for 9 . 

wells in the Coon Creek area in Vernon and Monroe counties.

In February 1946 an extensive investigation of the ground-water resources of Wisconsin was begun in cooperation with the University of 

Wisconsin. /During the year 77 new wells were added to the program and 12 

automatic water-stage recorders were installed. Thirteen recorders were in 

operation at the end of the vear. The new cooperative investigation was 

concentrated in the eastern part of Wisconsin with special emphasis on the 

deep artesian aquifers.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

Precipitation in Wisconsin during 1946 averaged 29.69 inches which is 

0-93 inch below normal. Wells measured in previous years and for which 

comparable records are available, showed considerable differences in 

fluctuations. Of the 10 wells in the northern Wisconsin River Valley, 7 

showed a net decline during the year ranging from 0.02 foot to 4.38 feet 

while 3 showed a net rise ranging from 0.12 foot to 1.52 foot. The three 

wells that showed a net rise are all in Oneida County where precipitation 

was above normal 3.53 inches above normal at Rhinelander and 5.10 inches 

above normal at Tomahawk. Of seven wells in the Coon Creek area, four 

showed a net decline ranging from 0.05 to 0.90 foot and three a net rise 

ranging from 0.07 to 0.28 foot.

The Wisconsin Conservation Department installed nine observation wells 

at ranger stations in northern Wisconsin from 1935 to 1937. Records of 

measurements in the wells were published in Water-Supply Papers 777, 817, 

840, and 845. No records of them have been published since 1938. Measurements have continued on five of the wells without break through 1946 and 

340
WISCONSIN, BROWN COUNTY 341

have been furnished to the United States Geological Survey through the 

courtesy of the Wisconsin Conservation Department. Measurements were made 

daily but only weekly measurements from 1939 through 1946 are published 

here to complete the record.

The period of record of observation wells established during 1946 is 

too short to be truly significant and no comparison can be made with previous years. Measurements do show that artesian wells in heavily pumped 

areas, particularly the Milwaukee-Waukesha area, have a seasonal drop of 

25 to 50 feet with minimum water levels occurring in September.
