Logs of Test Holes
The logs of 76 test holes drilled or jetted in Cloud County by the Federal and State Geological Surveys are given on the following pages. Of these, 44 logs were prepared by the authors from field study of the cuttings in 1954; 24 were prepared by V. C. Fishel from field and laboratory study in 1943; and 8 were prepared by the driller jetting the test holes in 1950. Also included are logs of 5 test holes drilled by the Air Made Well Company, 2 drilled by Layne-Western Company, and 1 drilled by the Bureau of Reclamation in 1941.
