Logs of Test Holes

Data obtained from logs of 246 test holes and auger holes and one well (Table 7) were used in the preparation of the cross sections (Pl. 2) and in drawing the contours on the water table (Pl. 1).

The logs of 69 test holes and one well are representative of all the logs of wells and test holes which were used in the preparation of this report. The logs of 177 additional test holes and auger holes used in preparation of the report are not included in this bulletin, but are retained in the files of the U.S. Geological Survey and State Geological Survey of Kansas at Lawrence, Kansas, and may be consulted there.
