Table of Well Records

Descriptions of the wells visited in Stanton county are given in the following table (table 5). 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 table, and depths to water level not classed as "reported" are measured and given to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
