KGS--Oil-field Areas of Ellis and Russell Counties--Well Records

Records of Typical Wells

Information pertaining to water wells in Russell and Ellis counties is tabulated on the following pages (tables 13 and 14). The numbers in the first column correspond to the well numbers on the map (pl. 1) and in the tables of analyses (tables 10 and 11). The wells are listed in order by townships from north to south and by ranges from east to west. Within a township the wells are listed in the order of the sections. All information classed as "reported" was obtained from the owner, tenant, or driller. Depths of wells not classed as "reported" are measured and given to the nearest tenth of a foot below the measuring point described in the tables, and depths to water level of wells not classed as "reported" are measured and given to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
