Logs of Wells and Test Holes

In the following pages are listed the logs of 109 test holes drilled by the State Geological Survey, 30 test holes drilled by the Layne-Western Company, and 23 public-supply wells. Samples from test holes drilled by the Geological Survey were studied by O. S. Fent and me. The numbers assigned to the logs are the same as well and test-hole numbers used in the text, in Table 15, and on Plate 1.
