Logs of Wells, Test Holes, Auger Holes, and Description of Measured Sections

Listed in the following pages are the logs of 19 wells and 55 test holes in the reported area including 48 logs of test holes drilled by the State Geological Survey of Kansas and 26 logs of wells and test holes furnished by private drillers. The logs of the test, holes drilled in 1940 are from Lohman (1941) and Lohman's numbers are indicated in parentheses at the top of each of his logs. In addition, logs of 2 auger holes and descriptions of 3 measured sections are included.
