Logs of Test Holes and Wells

The following pages contain logs of 354 test holes and wells drilled in McPherson, Marion, Harvey, Reno, and Sedgwick counties, including logs of 59 wells and 296 test holes. Samples from 218 test holes and wells were studied in the laboratory, and 136 of the logs are driller's descriptions. The logs include 158 test holes drilled by the State Geological Survey, 91 test holes and wells drilled for the City of Wichita, 19 test holes and wells drilled for the City of Hutchinson, 13 test holes and wells drilled for the City of Lindsborg, and 9 test holes and wells drilled for the City of Newton. The locations of the wells and test holes for which logs are given are described in the headings of the logs and are shown on Plate 7.
