Logs of Wells and Test Holes
Logs of 88 test holes, two city-supply wells, and four observation wells are given on the following pages. Logs 1 to 10, 32 to 37, 39 to 41, and 51 to 54 are of test holes; and 38, 44, 45, and 50 are of observation wells drilled in the vicinity of Hays by the State Geological Survey during April 1946. Logs 78 to 92 are of test holes drilled by the State Geological Survey during 1944 as a part of the investigation. for the City of Russell.
The logs were prepared by geologists of the State and Federal Geological Surveys after examining samples of the drill cuttings, and are referred to as sample logs. Logs 11 to 31, 42, 43, 46 to 49, and 55 to 77 are of test holes drilled by the Layne-Western Company for the City of Hays in 1938 and 1944. These logs, and also logs 93 and 94 of Hays city wells, are driller's logs furnished by the Layne-Western Company.
