Logs of Test holes and Wells
The logs of 117 test holes and water wells in the North Solomon Valley are given on the following pages. Fifty-five of these are sample logs of test holes drilled by the State Geological Survey in May 1946, 19 are of test holes drilled by the U. S. Bureau of Reclamation and Corps of Engineers along the axis of the proposed Kirwin dam, and 43 are of test holes and wells drilled by private drillers. The samples of test holes drilled by the Geological Survey were collected and studied in the field by J. B. Cooper and were studied in the office by me. Water-level measurements are in feet below land-surface datum.
