Records of Typical Wells, Springs, and Test Holes
On pages that follow are records of 365 test holes, 300 wells, and 2 springs inventoried in Sumner County. Depths of wells expressed to the nearest foot, and depths to water expressed to the nearest foot or tenth were reported by the owner, tenant, or driller. The test holes and many of the wells were measured with a steel tape and such measured depths of wells are expressed to the nearest tenth of a foot and measured depths to water to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
