INTRODUCTION 

By 0. K. Melnzer and L. K. Wenzel

Significance of records of water ^evel and artesian pressure

The rock formations of the earth are great natural underground reservoirs In which a part of the water derived from rain and snow la stored to 

supply wells and springs 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 whic,h 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 i ' 

published in a single volume each year through 1939. Beginning with 1940

the records .have be.en 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 part's of the, country as have

been covered,

Scope of present volume . '

s

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

of water level and artesian pressure In about-1,315 observation wells of 

the Geological Survey and coope'ratlng agencies In Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, 

Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. 

Of these wells, 31 are equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. For 

some wells not previously repbrted complete records of water level are 

given In this volume, Including those for the years before 1943. For wfclls 

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 16,980 Individual determinations of water level and artesian pressure. 

« Land-surface datum

Hitherto, in Geological Survey reports, the water levels and artesian 

pressures for some wells have been 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 was considered inadvisable 

to adopt a standard procedure In expressing water levels and artesian head* 

until after a period of trial with datum planes of different kinds. The 

time has now come, however, for the adoption of a uniform practice as to
INTRODUCTION

datura In making the records to be published In the annual water-level reports. 

It has become evident that the water levels,In each well should be expressed 

with reference to a permanent datum plane established for that well In order 

to preserve the continuity of the" record If the measuring point Is changed. 

The chief objection to the use of datum planes other -than land surface has

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

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

pressure in observation wells in 1943. The shade'd section represents 

the part of the country covered by this volume.

been that the significance of the water level with respect to the land

\ 

surface is thereby concealed. It appears, however, that this objection can

be overcome by using a precise datum plane that approximates the land surface.

The adoption of land-surface datum planes as the standard to be used In. 

expressing wate/r'levels and artesian heads will not prevent the use of other 

datum planes for the summary tables and for maps and graphs In the annual 

water-level reports or In other reports. The use of the sea-level datum and 

the 10-foot da'tum planes are to be encouraged for purposes of study and Interpretation, but the land-surface datum planes will be used exclusively for 

publishing original records. Bench marlcs must be established, as heretofore,
4 WATER ISVBIS AND ARTESIAN PKBSSUHE, 1945, NORTH-CHtTRAL STATES

near each observation- well to prevent the loss of the precise record If 

the measuring point or .the well itself is destroyed. New data as to the 

positions of the measuring point and of the bench marks, in feet above or 

below land-surface datum plane,, will be published in the appropriate 

annual reports. *

In accordance with the above, the water levels and artesian heads for 

all wells listed in this report are given in reference to land-surface 

datum planes. If the water levels or artesian heads are referred to landsurface 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 the, 

report for 1942, it is. not repeated in this report.

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 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 dountry 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 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 include! will . 

be added to the network from time to time.

General summary of changes in ground-water level In 1945 In the 

north-.central part of the United States

In 1945 the precipitation in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, 

and Wisconsin was below normal, but it was above normal in Illinois, Iowa, 

Minnesota, and North Dakota. The fluctuations of both water level and 

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

amdunt of precipitation. In certain of the observation wells there are 

fluctuations caused by differences in the rate «f pumping or artesian, flow 

from other wells in the area, but most of the observation wells are not 

noticeably'affected by pumping or-artesian flow.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Measurements of water level were continued in 1943 in the one well in

Illinois on the Nation-wide network of observation wells maintained by the

> ' 

Geological Survey, United States Department of the interior. This well is

at Princeton, Bureau County. It is equipped with a float-tape gage and was 

first observed in November 1942. During 1943 a total of 51 observations 

were made , at a rate of . about one 'each week.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

There was considerable fluctuation of the .water level in the well at 

'rlnceton during 1943. By January 2 it had risen -5. 2 feet above its stage 

on December 26, 1942, and from then until May 15 its general trend was upward. After May 15 began a gradual decline, which continued until the end 

of the year, when the water level was 3.9 feet below its stage at the end 

of the preceding year.

PROGRAM OP WORK

Water-level measurements in observation wells in Iowa were begun in 

1934 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior, 

in the Tarkio Creek yalley, which is in southwestern Iowa and northwestern 

Missouri a program in vrhich 'the Soil Conservation Service of the United 

States Department of Agriculture cooperated for several years. In 1938 the 

Federal Geological Survey and the Iowa Geological Survey began a cooperative investigation of the ground-water resources of the State as a whole, 

which necessitated obtaining records of water levels in wells in as many 

parts of the State as feasible. The more general program of well measurements thus begun and the program in the Tarkio Creek area were continued 

separately each year until 1943, when it was decided to include all the 

observation wells in Iowa under one program, in which the Federal and State 

Surveys would cooperate. Accordingly, 'the wells in Iowa in the Tarkio 

Creek area were put under the general program for Iowa, and the wells in 

Missouri in the Tarkio Creek area were put under the general program for 

Missouri.

At the beginning of 1943 the program in Iowa included 288 wells.

During the year 4 wells were added and 23 were dropped; at the end of the

/ 

year, therefore, the program included 269 wells. Automatic water-stape

recorders were maintained on 10 wells. The water level was measured weekly 

in about 10 wells, monthly in about 95 wells, and quarterly in most of the 

remaining wells. In all, about 2,370 individual measurements were made in 

1943 in connection with the observation-well program, and many others were 

made in wells not included under that program but observed in connection 

with pumping tests and in connection with the detailed investigation of 

ground-water resources in each of several localities scattered throughout 

the state.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATSR LEVEL

The average precipitation for Iowa in 1943 was 31.20 inches, which is 

0.32 inch below the 70-year average. Precipitation was below normal during 

the first four and during the last four months of the year. In general, 

the water'levels in shallow wells, which were somewhat lower in December 

1942 than in December 1941, were still lower in December 1943. The following table shows the average net change in water levels in shallow wells, 

by counties, in-1943:

The fluctuation of water level in a shallow unused well in the southern part of Webster County, near Harcourt, is shown in figure 2. The 

well is 41.8 feet deep and taps water in glacial drift. This aquifer is 

confined over a large part of Webster County and receives most of its recharge In places where the sandy drift material extends to the surface. 

The graph shows that the water level fluctuated markedly in phase with 

rainy and dry peripds. Lesser fluctuations are caused by changes In atmospheric pressure. This well is representative of the several shallow 

observation wells in Webster County.

a These wells, -1 ip Clay County and 3 in Palo Alto County, are all 

in the vicinity of Lost Itland Lake.

b These 9 wells are in the Tarkio Creek Valley. Another well in

In the Tarkio Creek area, which covers parts of Montgomery and Page 

Counties, in Iowa, and of Atchison County, in Missouri, water-le-vel measurements are made monthly in shallow observation wells. The measurements in j1943 were made by D. L. Hummel. The records of the water levels in wells, 

in the Missouri part of the area are given in the section of this volume , 

that deals with that State,

Water-level measurements in 11 wells in the Tarkio Creek area (Nos. 1,

2, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 15, 17) were used in computing the average

/ 

water level for each month of 1943. These averages are given in the

Prom the record high, in March 1942, there was a general decline of 

the average water level that continued until April 1943. In May* it rose 

slightly, and in June, owing to heavy rains in that month, it rose until 

it reached its highest stage of the year, which was 5.47 feet above its 

lowest stage, reached in April. During the remainder of the year it declined progressively, until at the end of December it was o.32 feet below 

its stage in June and only p.15 foot above its low point for the year. 

The fluctuation of the average water level in this area and the precipitation since August 1934, by months, is shown in figure 3. The lowest 

average water level during the period of record was reached in llarch 1938, 

and the highest was reached in March 1942.

Well 83-7-11E1, at Cedar Rapids,. Linn County,' is typical of wells 

affected by industrial pumping. Figure 4 shows the .fluctuations of water 

level in this well in 1943. In the graph the daily noon water level is 

shown as a point unless the fluctuation is more than 0.4 foot. A fluctuation of more than 0.4 foot is shown as a vertical line connecting the high 

and the low water level for the day. This well is 195 feet deep and taps 

watqr in the dolomite from which most of the wells in the Cedar Rapids area 

draw their supply. A large amount of water is pumped from this aquifer for 

use in Industry and air conditioning. Well 83-7-11E1 is situated about

3 miles north of the heavily pumped area and about half a mile from a well 

used largely to obtain water for air conditioning. It is affected markedly

by this heavily pumped nearby well. The smaller fluctuations are the v '

result of changes in barometric pressure. On December 31, 1943, the water

i 

level in well 83-7-11E1 was 72.80 feet below land-surface datum, which is

2.8 fee.t lower than its atage on December 31, 1942, and 4.8 feet lower than 

its stage on December 31, 1941.

The fluctuation of the water level in an unused municipally owned well 

in Mason City, Cerro Gordo County (well 96-20-3L2), is shown in figure 5. 

The daily fluctuation is shown by a line connecting the high and the low 

water level for the day. This well is 1,219 feet deep. It is cased from 

the surface to a depth of 99 feet and from 349 to ,710 feet. 'The principal 

aquifer is the Jordan sandstone. Other city-owned wells and a number of 

industrial wells are similarly constructed. Well 96-20-3L2 is in a heavily 

pumped section and reflects fairly accurately the trend in the water level 

in deeper aquifers in the Mason City area.

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 number is made up of three segments, separated by 

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

and the third indicates the section, one of the 40-acre subdivisions of the 

section as shown in the accompanying diagram, and, by its serial number, a 

particular well. In the second segment of the number of the only existing

observation well in the State east of the fifth principal meridian

R. 31 W., in the SEjSW^ sec. 25, whose serial number is 1.

The wells in the T"arkio Creek area, which were observed for several 

years in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service of the United 

States Department of Agriculture, are numbered consecutively in the order 

of their establishment. These wells were the first in Iowa to be observed 

by the Geological Survey and bear the numbers originally assigned to them.

INTRODUCTION 

By S. W. Lohman

The observation-well program In. Kansas, which has been In progress for 

several years, was continued In 1943 by the Geological Survey, United States 

Department of the Interior, 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 Wlchlta cor 

operated in Harvey, McPherson, and Ser'gwick Counties, and the Soil Conservation Service of the United States Department of Agriculture cooperated In 

Jewell County. Two counties not heretofore Included, Dickinson and Wyandctte, 

were added to the program. In 1P43, making 37 counties In which wells were 

observed during the year. (See fig. 6.)

Results of cooperative ground-water Investigations in the following

I/ 2/ 3/ 3/ counties were published In 194?: Bills,-' Ford,-^ Hamilton,-' -^

Meade,2/ an£ Russell.-' During the year cooperative Investigations were 

begun In the following areas: Kansas River Valley in Wyandotte County, 

by V. C. Fishel; Smoky Hill and Kansas River Valleys In Saline, Dickinson, 

and Geary Counties, by B.' F. Latta;- lower Arkansas River Valley in Sedgwick, 

Sumner, and Cowley Counties, by C. C. Williams; and Russell County, for

the City of Russell, by T.' G. McLaughlln. Field work was continued In the

following areas: The deep-water area in the southeastern part of the State, 

by G. E. Abernathy and C. C. Williams; the "Equus beds" area in Harvey, 

McPherson, and Sedgwick Counties, by C. C. Williams; Seward County, by 

T. G. McLaughlin" and C. W. Hibbard; and Cloud County, by V. C. Fishel. 

Also, a lange amount of work was done in developing ground-water supplies 

for war industries and military establishments both in Kansas and in adjacent States.

At the beginning of 1943, periodic water-level measurements were being 

made in 448 observation wells in the State. During the year measurements > 

were discontinued in 60 wells and begun or resumed in 19 wells. At the end 

of the year, 407 wells were under observation. Of the 439 wells measured 

in 1943, including both those in which measurements were discontinued and 

those in which measurements were begun during the year, 39 were measured 

quarterly, 269 monthly, 99 semi-monthly, and 21 weekly, and automatic waterstage recorders w'ere maintained, on 11. The recorders on 4 of these 11 wells3 in Scott County and 1 in Pinney County are maintained by the Division of 

Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture. During the year 

5,969 wetted-tape water-level measurements were made in the State. For 

convenience, the data embodied in this paragraph have been arranged in 

tabular form, by counties, as follows:

The trends in ground-water levels and In precipitation during 1943 

In each of the 35 counties in Kansas in which water-level records for a 

year or longer are available are indicated in the table that follows. 

Detailed records of water-level trends are tabulated under each of these 

counties.

Relation between the percentage of wells in Kansas in which the -highest and 

lowest water'levels of record were recorded in 1943, the percentage of

As indicated in the preceding table, the precipitation in 1943 was 

normal or above normal in only 7 of the 35 countlea and ranged from only 

50 percent of normal, in Scott County, to 129 percent of normal, in Labette

County. Six of the seven counties receiving normal or greater than normal

 a Excludes 97 wells pumped or affected by pumping.

b Many wells aff«cted by pumping of nearby irrigation wells;
precipitation in 1943 are in the central and, southeastern parts Of the 

State; in the wes.tern part, Morton County alone, among the counties listed,

received greater than normal precipitation. Because of this general d*fi-

! 

ciency in pre61pltatlon, .the water level's In most wella In 27 of the

counties declined during the year, fhe highest stages, of record were 

reached in some wells in most counties, but the lowest stages of record 

were reached in more than half of the wells in 12 counties;

Barton County 

By B. P. Latta

Altitudes of the measuring points of 53 wells in Barton County, including 6 observation wells, were established by spirit leveling during 

November and December 1943 by C. E. Bayne and Eatel Green. Two bench marks 

were also established at each of four of the wells Hos, 1, 2, 16, and 43. 

Descriptions of the bench marks and the altitudes established are included 

in this report.

Dlckinson County 

By B. P. Latta r

An investigation of the ground-water resources of the Smoky Hill River 

Valley in Saline, Dlckinson, and Geary Counties was begun in 1943 with the 

establishment of an observation well in Enterprise, Dickinson County. This 

is the southeasternmost of four shallow wells in the alluvium of the Smoky 

Hill Valley from which the city of Enterprise draws its public supply. The

four wells are connected to one pump, and their aggregate yield is reported

i 

to "be 500 gallons a ninute. Monthly measurements of water level in this 

well were, begun June 1. They are being made by E. L. Mulanax, an employee 

of the city, who made six measurements during the year.

Stafford County 

By B. P. Latta

The altitudes of the Measuring points of about 87 wells, including 8 

observation wells, were established by spirit leveling during the fall of 

1943 by O.K. Bayne and Estel Green. Two bench marks were established at 

each of 6 of the observation wells Nos. 3, 19, 25, 26, 29, and 63; at 

the other two Nos. 38 and 40 bench marks were not established, because 

measurements in1 these wells were discontinued early in the year. The altitudes and descriptions of the bench marks for the six observation wells 

mentioned are included in this report.

Highest and lowest recorded water levels in 6 wells in Stafford County,

Wyandotte County 

By V. C. Fishel

An investigation of the ground-water resources of the Kansas and 

Missouri River Valleys in V/yandotte County was begun in 1943 with the 

establishment of three observation wells in the Kansas River Valley. 

Special emphasis is being laid on conditions in the industrialized areas 

of Kansas City (Kans.). Periodic measurements are being nade in the three 

wells by the wetted-tape method, and six measurements in all were made 

during the year. For well 30-2, in Bonner Springs, scattered measurements 

made prior to 1943 are included in this report.

By A. L. Greenlee 

PROGRAM OP, WORK

Periodic measurements of water level in observation wells in Minnesota 

were continued in 1943 by the Geological Survey, United States Department 

of the Interior. At the beginning of the year the program included ,eight 

wells. During the year seven wells were dropped from the program and two 

were added, making a total of three under observation at the end of the 

year. In all, 192 individual measurements of water level were made in 1943. 

None of the wells is equipped with automatic water-stage recorders.

Of the eight wells making up the program at the beginning of 1943, 

seven are in the so-called Pargo artesian area, which lies partly in Clay 

County,-Minn., and partly in Cass County, N. Dak. These seven wells were 

observed In cooperation with the North Dakota Geological Survey and the 

City of Pargo, as were also the wells in the North^ Dakota part of the area. 

Measurements were discontinued in all the wells in Clay County after June

1943. I '

.

The two wells added t'o the program in 1943 are well 135, located in 

the upper Mississippi River drainage basin near the town of Deer River, in 

Itasca County, and well 136 located in the St. Louis River drainage basin 

at the town of Eveleth in St. Louis County. The weekly measurements in 

these two wells total 46 for the year. '

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The fluctuations of water level in wells in the Pargo artesian area 

are briefly discussed in the section of this volume that deals with Horth 

Dakota, under Cass County. ('See pp. 309-316.) .

In the water-table well near Hanska, Brown Counfry, the water level 

fluctuated through a range of 3.65 feet during the year and was 1.08 feet 

higher at the end of the year than at the beginning. During the 5-month 

period of its measurement in 1942 August to December the water level In 

this well declined 0.66 foot.

162 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAH PRESSURE, 1943, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

*

US wells 135 and 136 are also'.water-table wells. It is anticipated 

that well 135 will be influenced by impounded Lake Winnibigoshish, which 

is in turn controlled by flood gates by the Corps of Engineers, United States 

Army. The period of measurement is as yet too short to estimate the extent 

of this influence. The water level in well 136 fluctuated 1.74 feet during 

the 6-roonth period of measurement,

PROGRAM OP WORK

At the end of 1943 the Nation-wide network of observation wells main- 's

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

was represented in Missouri by 21 wells, in all of which measurements of 

water level had been made monthly or more frequently for at least a year. 

In 18 of the wells, all in Atchison County, measurements were begun in 1934 

In connection with an investigation of ground-water conditions in the 

rarkio Creek area, which Includes also parts of Montgomery and Page Counties, 

Iowa. Two of the remaining observation wells in the State are in Phelps 

County, and the third is in Grundy County. During 1943 the measurements 

made in the 21 wells in Missouri totaled 313. None of the wells are 

 equipped with water-stage recorders.

A bench mark was set at each of the Phelps County wells on December 1, 

1943, by W. G. Stephan, engineer of the Rolla office of the Survey's division of surface water, and W. L. Ayres, assistant. The measurements in 

these two wells were made by engineers of the above-mentioned office,' 

through the courtesy of H. C. Beckman, district engineer. The measurements 

In the Atchison County wells were made by D. L. Hummel, and those in the 

Grundy County well by W. H. Estes, owner of the well. 

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The wells in Phelpa and Grundy Counties showed a more or less steady 

decline in water level In 1943, which, in one of the Phelps County wells, 

Increased considerably during the period July to December. The fluctuations 

Ln the wells In Atchison County, which is in the Tarkio Creek area, are discussed with those of other wells in that area in the section of this volume 

that deals with Iowa. (See pp. 40-41J and 42-48.)

PROGRAM OP WORK

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 1943. Record's of water level 

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, P17, 840, 845, 886, 908, 938 and 946.

It was not practicable in 1943 to visit all the wells in the State 

included in the program. All are listed in this report, however, by county 

and number, under the heading "Well descriptions and water-level measurements". (See pp. 187-300.)

Measurements of water level were made in 1943 in each of 354 wells, 

among which are 247' in the observation of which the following organizations 

are cooperating informally: Grand Island Water Department, 48 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, 

21 wells in Dawson County, 2 wells in Garden County, 22 jirells in Gosper 

County, 65 wells in Keith County, 68 wells in Lincoln County, and 7 wells 

in Phelps County. The daily tape measurements given for well 85 in Morrill 

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

In June 1943 an observation well was drilled in the Platte River 

Valley south of O'Pallons, and equipped with an 8-day automatic water- > 

stage recorder, which is serviced each week by Warren Doolittle, of the 

Platte Valley Public Power and Irrigation District. Another observation

well was drilled in November 1943 In the Middle Loup River Valley southwest

169
170 . WATER LKVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

of Arcadia; this well was equipped in December 1943 with an 8-day autonatic 

water-stage recorder, which is serviced each week by Keith Essex, of the 

Middle Loup River Public Power and Irrigation District. The water-level 

records for each of these wells are given under.the county in which the 

well ia situated.

In this report there are included for the first time the complete 

water-level records for 124 observation wells that are measured monthly by 

the Central Nebraska Public Power and. Irrigation District and tables showing 

the monthly and the average daily pur.page, over a period of years, for the 

municipal supplies of Grand Island and Lincoln.

Statements on ground-water conditions in Nebraska, prepared currently 

for the Geological Survey Monthly Water Resources Review, are based on the 

fluctxiationa of water level in eight key wells, selected'for this purpose. 

Monthly measurements were continued in these wells during 1943, and two 

wells were added to the group. In one of these, US well 129, situated 

several miles'fwest of Gibbon, measurements were begun in April. (See under 

Buffalo County.) In the other, US well 150, near Columbus, the measurements 

are made by the Loup River Public Power District, which discontinued its 

observation of key well US 61, also near Colunbus, when that well became 

plugged, in April. The- complete record of one of the eight key wells, 

situated Just west of the Lincoln city well field near Ashland (well 2-6600W 

or US 62), which is measured jaonthly by the city of Lincoln, is given in 

this report for the-first time. (See under Saunders County.)

In all, 2,862 individual measurements of water level were made in 

Nebraska in 1943.

FLUCTUATIONS OP WATER LEVEL

The precipitation in Nebraska in 1943 was 17.18 inches, which is 5.28 

inches below normal and 7.99 inches below the precipitation in 1942. As a 

result, the water levels in many of the observation wells had net declines 

for the year. This is especially true of wells in the vicinity of Grand 

Island, where the precipitation was below normal in each of the 12 months, 

of 1943 and where, as a consequence, water levels in general declined. The 

precipitation for the year at Grand Island was 14.89 inches, which is 12.17 

inches below normal and 10.69 inches less than in 1942. The water levels 

in 19 wells showed net declines during the year ranging from 0.30 foot
NEBRASKA 171

to 5.13 feet and averaging 1.22 feet; in 4 wells the water levels showed 

net rises during the year ranging from 0.04 foot to 2.63 feet.

The two following tables give, for each observation well in the State, 

the highest and the lowest water level of record and the difference between 

them, the length of record, and tlie.net change in water level in 1943 and 

the net change during the period of record.

186 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

PUMPAGE

The cities of Lincoln and Grand Island have developed systems of public

I 

supply that are worthy of note. The public supply for Lincoln Is pumped

from six wells constructed on the flood plain of the Platte River about 

3 miles north of Ashland. Pumping from the Lincoln .well field near Ashland 

began in August 1932, and by the end of 1943 approximately 31,427.2 million 

gallons of water had been withdrawn from the ground-water reservoir. The 

public supply for Grand Island Is pumped from a group of wells most of them 

within the city proper drilled into the Pleistocene sands and gravels of the 

Platte Valley. A report on the Grand Island wells was published in 1940.-/ 

Since that report was written, three new wells have been added to the group, 

namely, the South Locust Street well, which began operation In July 1938, 

the Harrlson Street well, which began operation in October 1941, and the 

Parkview well, which began operation in August 1943.

The monthly and the average dally pumpage from these two ground-water 

developments for their periods of record are given in the tables that follow.

PROGRAM OF WORK 

The cooperative ground-water investigation of the Geological Survey,

United States Department of the Interior, and the

Survey, which was begun in 1937 and includes a program of water-level 

measurements in selected wells, was continued in ]943. In the Fargo area,

the city of Pargo also cooperated. At the end of

were under observation in 140 wells, 8 of which were equipped with automatic water-stage recorders. Of the remaining wells, 39 were measured 

weekly, 9 were measured semimonthly or monthly, ar d 84 were measured once, 

twice, or three times during the year. Seven of the wells were* measured 

monthly or semimonthly by "local observers, through the.courtesy of city,

State, and Federal agencies. In all, about 4,510

were made during the year. The distribution of the observation wells in 

the State is shown in figure 7.

Special studies were made during 1943 of ground-water cqnditions in 

the vicinity of Camp Grafton, Ramsey County, wher«> a reconnaissance was 

made in 1942, in other parts of Hamsey County, anc. at the State Hospital 

at Jamestown, Stutsman County. An investigation (if the ground-water 

resources Of the Devils Lake Basin was begun during the summer. The field 

work necessary to the detailed investigation of the area south of Oakes,

Dickey County, was Completed, and that in Pemblna 

Observations on water levels in artesian wells in

in Cass County, N. Dak., and Clay County, Minn., rere continued. (See 

under Cass County, pp.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The average monthly water levels for the State for 1943 from the 

records of 18 representative wells are included in the following table. 

They show that new high monthly averages were established In seven of 

months in 1943. (See also fig. 8.)

The 'State has been, divided into five districts, by drainage basins, to 

permit a closer study of the correlation between fluctuations in groundwater levels and fluctuations in stream flow and rainfall. .(See fig. 8 ,)

The average depth to water in wells in each district during 1943 and 

the average fluctuation and net change in water levels in each district are 

given in the following table. The fluctuations of water levels in selected 

wells are shown by graphs in figures 8 and 9 .

In the Red River Valley district, ground-water levels reached their 

maximum stages in the spring of 1943 coincident with floods and the general 

inundation of low-lying lands. Subnormal precipitation in the last part of 

the year, however, resulted in substantial declines from these high stages. 

Seven wells in which the depth to water is less than 10 feet below the 

land surface showed year-end stages of water level in 1943 that were 0.44 

foot to 2.15 feet below those of 1942. On the other hand, three wells in 

which the depth to water is about 20 feet below the land surface showed

306 WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

rises In water level of 0.39 foot to 1.50 feet above their stages at the 

'end of 1942. Water levels at the end of 1943 ranged from about 1.5 to 3 

feet above their low stages recorded In 1940.

Ground-water levels.In the James River district declined only slightly 

toward the end of 1943, .owing to the fact that the precipitation during the 

period September to December was nearly normal. Five wells showed an average net rise In water level of 1.28 feet in 1943, and two wells showed an 

average net decline of 1.25 feet. The two wella In which declines occurred 

are In the upner part of the valley, In the central part of the State. The 

graph for key well 101 In Dickey County (see fig. 8 ) shows that its water 

level was about 5 feet higher at the end of 1943 than at the end of 1941.

The precipitation on the Upper Sheyenne and Devils Lake Basin district 

was above normal In 1943 only in the month of June. Lake levels in the 

area declined approximately 1 to 2 feet during the year, and the graph for 

Eddy County well 18 (see fig. 8 ) shows that its water level declined 0.50 

foot. Six wells show an average decline in water level of 1.70 feet from 

their year-end stages of 1942.

The graph for McHenry County well 102 (see fig. 9A ), a.t the Denbigh 

Forestry Station In the Souris River district, shows that the water level 

In this well was maintained at about 4.5 feet below land surface from June 

to September and that^during this period new high stages for the period of 

record were established. Although the precipitation was below normal during the last three months of the year, the decline of the water level in 

the well was slow, and at the end of 1943 it was about 1 foot higher than 

at the end of 1942. Wells in this district situated farther from the 

river showed appreciable 'declines of water.level; In three, the average 

net decline was 1.62 feet. Water levels In wells In the valley part of 

the district may have been affected by the Impounding of water in the Upper 

Des Lacs and Souris Rivers. Ten such wells showed an average rise In water 

level of 2.35 feet in 1943. "

In most of the Missouri Slope district ground-water levels are at 

greater depths below the land surface than they are In the other districts* 

In 1943 rises of water level were general throughout the district and 9 

wells showed an average net rise of 1.92 feet. None of the selected wells 

showed a net decline In water level during the year.

The fluctuations of water levels in 1943 in the Fargo area, part of 

which is in North Dakota/ are discussed under Cass County on page 309.

Fargo area

Periodic observations of the water levels in wells in the Pargo area 

were continued on a smaller scale in 1943 through cooperation with the 

North Dakota Geological Survey and the city of Pargo. At the beginning of 

the year measurements were being made in 13 wells in North Dakota and 5 

wells in Minnesota. (See under Clay County in the Minnesota section of this

volume.) All the wells in the Pargo area In Minnesota and 6 of those in

i 

North Dakota were dropped from the program during the first half of the

year and at the end of the year only 7, all in North Dakota (Cass County 

wells 3, 4, 5, 12, 28, 58, and 67) were still under observation. Automatic 

water-stage recorders are operated on all of these except well 28. About 

2,265 individual records of water levels in wells in the North Dakota part 

of the Pargo area are included in this report. The tape measurements were 

made by William Tarbell and H. G. Palmer.

Well 14, which is used by the city of. Pargo to supplement Its surfacewater supply, was pumped from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily during the period 

April 5-10. The total pumpage for this period was 2,030^,000 gallons.

At the end of 1943 the water levels in wells 3,4, 5, 12, 28, and 67, 

all of which are influenced to some extent by the pumping of well 14, 

averaged 0.43 foot higher than at the end of 1942 and 3.44 feet higher 

than at the end of 1941. The average year-end level for 1943, however, is 

1.52 feet below the average year-end level of 1940. The average rises In 

1942 and 1943 may be attributed chiefly to a progressive decrease In pumpage In these years and to recovery from the heavy pumpage of 1941.

310 ..WATER LEVELS AND ARTESIAN PRESSURE, 1943, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES 

A severe flood of the Red River occurred during the last part of March 

and the first part of April 1943, and land adjacent to the river was inundated. Wells 4 and 67, which are situated near the river, showed rises in 

water level of about 4.5 and 2.6 feet, respectively, as a result of the 

compression of the water-bearing beds resulting from the weight of the - , 

floodwaters. The water levels in the wells returned to preflood stages 

as the floodwaters subsided. / It Is likely that the water levels In some 

of the other observation wells also were affected by the flooding, but well 

14 was operated during this period and the effect, if any,was obscured by 

the decline of the water levels caused by the pumping.

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

57 for the supply of the Union Stockyards In West Fargo, continued the decline that has been in progress since observations were begun in 1937. At 

the end of 1943, the water level was 2.14 feet below its year-end level of 

1942 and 28.08 feet below Its year-end level of 1937.

SOUTH DAKOTA

By W. E. Rale'

PROGRAM OP WORK

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

continued in 1943 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of 

the Interior, in cooperation with the South Dakota Geological Survey. 

Observations of water level have been made in 13 counties, all of which 

are in the southeast quarter of the State. At the beginning of 1943 the 

program Included 50 wells; 5 wells were dropped during the year and 3 

were added} at the end of the year, therefore, 48 wells,were under observation. Weekly measurements were made in 5 wells and monthly measurements in 34; in 8 wells no measurements were made. An automatic waterstage recorder was maintained on one well during part of the year, and on 

one well in which weekly measurements were made (Union County well 5) a 

float-tape gage was maintained.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL 

As most of tb-e observation wells in South Dakota are shallow, the * 

principal factor effecting their water levels, ia precipitation. The 

municipal wells under observation are affected also by pumping. The 

following table shows the fluctuation of the average water level in 1943, 

by months, in a group of 18 shallow wells. The wells making up this group 

are Eon Homme County wells 7 and 34, Clay County well 38, Hutchinson 

County wells 35 and 37, Lincoln .County wells 28 and 29, Minnehaha County 

wells 21, 30, and 31, Turner County wells 4, 41, and 42, Union County 

wells 5-and 24, and Yankton County wells 1, 3, and 35.

The graph at the bottom of figure 10 shows the fluctuation of the 

average water level In a group of IP to 2? shallow wells during the 37- 

month period December 1939 to December 1942 and in a group of 18 shallow 

wells during the 12-month period January to December 1943. (The wells 

making up the group of 18 are those whose water levels were used in computing the monthly averages In the above table; the group of 23 Includes 

the group of 18 with the exception of pne well Lincoln County well 28 

and, In addition, Bon Homme County well 8, Hutchinson County well 36, 

Lincoln County well 27, Turner County wells 22 and 40, and Union County 

well 25.) The water levels in both groups of wells were referred to the 

same assumed datum planes, and the averages obtained, although not precisely comparable, serve to show the general trend of the water level for the 

period of record of the wells, it will be noted that the five municipal 

wells under observation were not considered in computing the averages used 

for'either the table or the graph.

Prom the graph and table it will be seen that in 1943 the average 

water level remained at practically the same stage from the beginning of 

the year until about the middle of May. During this period the rainfall 

was somewhat below normal. In June the rainfall was considerably above 

normal and, as a result, the water level rose rapidly and reached its 

highest stage of the year in that month. It declined steadily--2.95 feet 

In all until late in October, when it reached its lowest stage of the

0 *

year. In November It rose slightly and In December declined slightly. 

At the end of the year it was 0.77 foot below its stage at the end of the 

preceding year.

I/ The average water level In December 1942, as published In the 

table on page 264 of Water-Supply Paper 946, is in error. It Is based 

on 19 wells and should therefore be 103.18 feet. If based, on 18 wells, 

the average in December 1942 is 102.67 feet.
SOUTH DAKOTA 339

Shown also In figure 10 are the fluctuations of water level during the 

period 1940-43 in each of the five water-table wells included In the groups 

mentioned above. These wells, although In different topographic situations, 

are considered typical of wells in southeastern South Dakota.

Five wells In the State in or near municipal well fields are Included 

in the observation-well program. One of these is near Brookings (Brooklngs 

County), one is near Huron (Beadle County), and three are neap Sioux Palls 

(Mlnnehaha County). As has already been stated, these wells are affected 

by pumping as well as by precipitation.

Measurements In the well near Brooklngs, known as City of Brooklngs 

well 1 and listed in this report as Erooklngs County well 110-50-13M1, were 

begun in July 1942. In 1943 the water level reached both Its lowest and 

Its highest stage for the year while the well was not pumping. The lowest 

stage, 11.17 feet below land-surface datum, was reached on February 12, 

and the highest stage, 7.25 feet below land-surface datum, was reached 

on December 16. The pumpage during the year, by months, from the w.ells 

In the Brooklngs municipal field Is shown in the following table.

l'o measurements were wade in 194? in the municipal well near Huron, 

known as City of Huron gage hole 1 and listed In this report as Peadle 

County well 110-62-PE1.

The Slou.x Palls municipal well field is In the valley of the I;lg 

Sioux River, In the S-| sees. 5 and 6, T. 101 i:., R. 49 W. Thirteen wells 

had been constructed in this field by the end of 1942, but four of these 

have been abandoned. During the period beginning with the latter part of 

1P42 and extending through 1943, In order to augment the city's water 

supply, six additional wells were constructed in the' field and the construction of a seventh was begun. Some details about the wells completed 

 by the end of 1942 are given in a table in Water-Supply Paper 946 (on p. 

268), and similar details about the six additional wells here mentioned

are given in the first of the two following tables. The second table shows

At the beginning of 1943 three wells in the vicinity of the Sioux 

Falls municipal well field were under observation. During the year measurements were discontinued in one well and begun in a newly established well. 

The well thus added to the program is one of a large number of test holes 

drilled by the city in the valley of the Big Sioux River to the north of 

the municipal field. Many of these test holes will be cased and used as 

observation wells. The one already in use for this purpose, listed in this 

report as Minnehaha County well 102-47-29J1, is about 1.5 miles north of 

the well field. An automatic water-stage recorder was installed in this 

well June 27, 1943.

WELL-NUMBERING SYSTEM

The numbers as-signed by the Geological Survey to its observation wells 

in South Dakota shot the location of wells a'ccording to the rectangular 

system for subdivision of public land. Each number is made up of three 

segments, separated by hyphens. The first and second segments indicate 

the township and range, and the third indicates the section, one of the 

40-acre subdivisions of the section as shown in the accompanying diagram,
SOUTH DAKOTA, BOM HOMME COUNTY 341

and, by Its serial number, a particular well. For example, the number 

109-62-3R1 indicates a well in T. 109 N., R. 62 W., in 1 the SSfSEi sec. 3 

whose serial number IB 1. If the section or 40-acre subdivision in which 

a well is located is unknown, a zero is substituted for the letter indicating the section or 40-acre subdivision. ' -

PROGRAM OP WORK

Observations of water level in wells in Wisconsin were continued in 

1943 by the Geological Survey, United States Department of the Interior. 

At the beginning of the year there were nine wells on the program, all in 

the so-called Coon Creek area, which lies in the basins of Coon Creek and 

Little La Crosse Rivers, in La Crosse, Konroe, and Vernon Counties. One 

well, US 137 In Ashland County, was added to the program in July, so that 

at the end of the year 10 wells were under observation. During the year 93 

individual measurements of water level were made in the State.

FLUCTUATIONS OF WATER LEVEL

The following table shows the ave'rige of the water levels in 1943, at 

about monthly intervals, for the nine wells in the Coon Creek area.

Near the beginning of 1943 the average water level, as shown by the 

measurements made on December 30 and 31, 1942, was 19.00 feet below landsurface datum, which was 0.92 foot higher than its stage & year earlier, 

when it was 20.72 feet below land-surface datum. It rone to its highest 

recorded stage in 1943 19.00 feet below land-surfac*e datum, which it reached 

during the reriod March 23 to April 1. Although it gradually declined for 

the remainder of the year, during the period December 24-29 it was only 

19.70 feet below land-surface datum, which is the highest year-end stage 

recorded since water-level observations were begun in these wells, in 1934.

In the Lake Superior District Power Co. well located in the valley of 

the White River near the city of Ashland, in Ashland County, the water level 

rose during the first week of August and then declined until about the 

middle of October, after which it rose again until the end of November and 

then declined somewhat. During the period it was measured, beginning

July 26, there was a net rise of 0.71 foot in this well.
