Well-numbering System

The well and test-hole numbers used in this report give the location of wells and test holes according to the General Land Office Surveys and according to the following formula: township, range, section, l60-acre tract within that section, and the 40-acre tract within that quarter section. If two or more wells are located within a 40-acre tract, the wells are numbered according to the order in which they were inventoried. The 160- acre and 40-acre tracts are designated a, b, c, or d in a counterclockwise direction, beginning in the northeast quarter. For example, a well located in the NE SE sec. 10, T. 19 S., R. 7 E., would be numbered 19-7-l0da. Wells in the strip of oversized sections in R. 8 E. are located in the same manner, except that the lot number is used where a well is in an area divided into lots.

Records of Wells

Information pertaining to water wells in Chase County is given in Table 12. The well numbers used in this report give the location of wells according to the General Land Office Surveys as described in the preceding paragraph. The measured depths of water levels are given to the nearest 0.01 foot, whereas reported depths are given only to the nearest foot and are subject to error. Similarly measured depths of wells are given to the nearest 0.1 foot, reported depths are given only to the nearest foot and are subject to error.
