GROUND-WATER LEVELS IN

THE UNITED STATES

1957-61

NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

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. Frotn 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-centrals 1956, 1957-61, 1962-66, etc.

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

Southeastern: 1956-18, 1959-63, 1964-68, etc.

South-central: 1956-59, 1960-64, 1965-09, etc.

Northwestern: 1956-80, 1961-65, 1968-70, etc.

Southwestern: 1956-60, 1961-65, 1066-70, etc.
GROUND-WATER LEVELS, 1957-61, NORTH-CENTRAL STATES

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

wells will be 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 observation-well 

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-surface 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 

measurement 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 water 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.

Measurements were made under the direction of the district supervisors of the Ground 

Water Branch in the several States.

Joy L. Charbonneau was responsible for the compilation and typing of this report.

Figure 2 shows the location of observation wells in Illinois.

Well-Numbering System

The number assigned to the Bureau County well shows its location according to the Bureau 

of Land Management's system for subdivision of public land. The system is explained on page 7 

in the Iowa report.

Wells in Du Page County are numbered serially.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

L. L. Steele

The observation-well program in Iowa was continued from 1957 through 1961 in cooperation 

with the State Geological Survey. Figure 3 shows the location of observation wells included in 

this report.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management's system of land 

subdivision. Each well number is made up of three segments. The first segment indicates the 

township, the second the range, and the third the section in which the well is situated. The letter after the section number represents the 40-acre subdivision of the section, as shown in the 

diagram. Numbers are added as suffixes to distinguish wells in the same tract. Thus, the number 75-30-17E1 designates well 1 in the SWiNWi sec. 17, T. 75 N., R. 30 W.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

Barometric leveling is used in referencing land-surface datum.

KANSAS

By Margaret E. Broeker

The observation-well program in Kansas was continued during 1957 through 1961 in cooperation with the State Geological Survey, the Division of Water Resources of the State Board of 

Agriculture, the Division of Sanitation of the State Board of Health, and, in the Missouri Basin, 

the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation. In addition, the City of Wichita cooperated in Harvey, McPherson, and Sedgwick Counties. Figure 4 shows the location of observation wells included in 

this report.

Well-Number"! ng System

Wells are numbered either serially within counties or in accordance with the Bureau of 

Land Management's system of land subdivision.- By the latter method each well is made up of 

three segments. The first segment indicates the township,- the second the range, and the third 

the section in which the well is situated. Townships are numbered south from the north border 

of the state. Ranges are numbered east and west of a line on the east side of Jewell, Mitchell, 

Lincoln, Ellsworth, and Rice Counties. The letters after the section number, which are assigned 

in a counterclockwise direction, represent subdivisions of the section. The first letter denotes 

the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre tract, and the third the 10-aCre tract. Thus, the 

number Cheyenne l-38-27adb designates the well in the NWjSEiNEj sec. 27, T. IS., R. 38 W.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

By G. C. Straka and W. A. Miller

The observation-well program in Minnesota was continued during 1957 through 1961 in cooperation with the Division of Waters Of the State Department of Conservation, the Department 

of Iron Range Resources and Rehabilitation, and the Board of County Commissioners of Hennepin County. Figure 5 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management's system of land 

subdivision. Each well number is made up of three segments. The first segment indicates the 

township, the second the range, and the third the section in which the well is situated. The letters after the section number, which are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, represent 

subdivisions of the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre 

tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. The letter "B" before the township number designates a 

well in the northwest quadrant of the fourth principal meridian and base-line system. (If the well 

is in the northwest quadrant of the fifth principal meridian and base-line system, no letter is included. ) Numbers are added as suffixes to distinguish wells in the same tract. Thus, the number 108.30. 9add designates the well in the SE^SEiNE? sec. 9, T. 108 N., R. 30 W.

NEBRASKA

By C. F. Keech

The observation-well program in Nebraska was continued in 1957 through 1961 in cooperation with the Conservation and Survey Division, University of Nebraska. Figure 7 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management's system of land 

subdivision in which each well number is made up of three segments. The first indicates the 

township, the second the range, and the third the section in which the well is situated. The letters after the section number, which are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, represent 

subdivisions of the section. The first letter denotes the 160- acre tract, the second the 40-acre 

tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. Thus, the number Al-10-27adc indicates the well in the 

SWiSEjNEy sec. 27, T. IN., R. 10 E. The letter "A" before the township number designates 

a well east of the sixth principal meridian. (If the well is west of the meridian, no letter is in' 

eluded. ) Serial numbers are added to distinguish wells in the same tract.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

NORTH DAKOTA

By P. G. Randich and D. G. Adolphson

The observation-well program in North Dakota was continued in 1957 through 1961 in cooperation with the State Water Conservation Commission and the North Dakota Geological Survey. 

Figure 8 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management's system of land 

subdivision. Each well number is made up of three segments. The first segment indicates the 

township, the second the range, and the third the section in which the well is located. The letters after the section number, which are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, represent 

subdivisions of the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre 

tract, and the third the 10-acre tract. Numbers are added as suffixes to distinguish wells in the 

same tract. Thus, the number 140-61-16dcc designates the well in the SWiSWySEi sec. 16, 

T. 140 N., R. 61 W.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

Randich, P. G., Petri, L. R., and Adolphson, D. G., 1962, Records, logs and water-level

measurements of selected wells, test holes, and springs, and chemical analyses of ground 

water in Kidder County, North Dakota: North Dakota Geol. Survey Bull. 36, pt. 2.
SOUTH DAKOTA

By H. J. Bandelman

The observation-well program in South Dakota, begun in 1935, was continued during 1957 

through 1961. Measurements of water levels have been continued since 1946 as a part of the 

Missouri River Basin program. The South Dakota Water Resources Commission has cooperated 

since 1955. Water-level measurements not included herein are on file at the office of the Ground 

Water Branch, Water Resources Divisidh, U. S. Geological Survey, Huron, South Dakota. 

Figure 9 shows the location of observation wells included in this report.

Well- Numbering System

Wells are numbered in accordance with the Bureau of Land Management's system of land 

subdivision. Each well number is made up of three segments. The first segment indicates the 

township, the second the range, and the third the section in which the well is situated. The letters after the section number, which are assigned in a counterclockwise direction, represent 

subdivisions of the section. The first letter denotes the 160-acre tract, the second the 40-acre 

tract, and the third the 10- acre tract. If the well can be located within a 2^-acre tract, 4 letters are shown in the well number. The letter "A" or "D" before the township number designates 

a well in the northeast or southeast quadrant of the Black Hills meridian and base-line system. 

(If the well is in the fifth or sixth principal meridian and base-line system, no letter is included. ) 

Numbers are added as suffixes to distinguish wells in the same tract. Thus, the number 113-65- 

12cdbbl designates well 1 in the NW^NWiSEiSWi sec. 12, T. 113 N. , R. 65 W.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements 

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

.WISCONSIN

By R. E. Audini and R. M. Erickson

The observation-well program was continued during 1957 through 1961 in cooperation with 

the Wisconsin Geological and Natural History Survey. Figure 10 shows the location of observation 

wells included in this report.

Well-Numbering System

A three-segment system of letters and numbers is used to designate the location of wells. 

The first segment is an abbreviation of the county name (Pt, Portage County). The second segment is the township designation, which is based on the Federal system of land subdivision, and 

is divided into three parts township, range, and section. All townships are north of the base 

line for the extended Fourth principal meridian. All ranges are east of the Fourth principal 

meridian, unless "W" (West) follows the range number. The third segment is the well serial 

number, which is assigned in the order that the well was inventoried in the county. For example, 

well Pt-24/10/28-15 is located in Portage County, township 24 north, range 10 east, section 28, 

and was the 15th well inventoried.

Well Descriptions and Water-Level Measurements

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

Barometric leveling is used in referencing land-surface datum.
