Kansas Geological Survey, Special Distribution Publication 22, originally published in 1965
Originally published in 1965 as Kansas Geological Survey Special Distribution Publication No. 22. This is, in general, the original text as published. The information has not been updated. An Adobe Acrobat version of the book is also available (11.8 MB).
Prepared as part of the cooperative ground-water program in Kansas conducted by the United States Geological Survey, the State Geological Survey of Kansas, the Division of Water Resources of the Kansas State Board of Agriculture, and the Environmental Health Services of the Kansas State Department of Health.
The logs of 369 wells and test holes in Sedgwick County, Kansas, are given on the following pages. The samples from test holes drilled by the State Geological Survey of Kansas and a part of those drilled by private contractors and the City of Wichita were examined and logged in the field. The logs that are designated "Sample logs" were prepared after microscopic examination of the samples in the laboratory and comparison with the field log.
A (T) following the figure for "altitude of land surface" indicates the altitude was determined from modern 7 1/2-minute topographic maps having 10-foot contour intervals. Other altitudes were determined by field measurements.
Locations of these wells and test holes can be found on Plate 1 of "Geology and Ground-Water Resources of Sedgwick County, Kansas," by C. W. Lane and D. E. Miller, Bulletin 176, published by the State Geological Survey of Kansas in 1965.
