Well Logs

On the following pages are given the logs of several wells and test holes in Stanton county. The logs are divided into the three following groups; logs of test holes, logs of water wells, and the log of a gas test well. The logs in each group are listed in order by townships from north to south and by ranges from east to west. Numbers 1 to 8 are logs of the test holes drilled in Stanton county by the cooperative well-drilling machine, and numbers 9 to 11 are logs of similar test holes drilled in Morton county just south of the Stanton county line. The locations of the test holes are shown in figure 4. Numbers 12 to 21 are logs of water wells and number 22 is the log of the gas test well in sec. 11, T. 29 S., R. 41 W.
