Logs of Test Holes
Listed on the following pages are logs of 60 test holes in Marshall County and in the adjoining counties along the county lines. The test holes were drilled by the State Geological Survey in 1949 and 1951. All but one test hole (4-8-25ab) were drilled through the entire thickness of unconsolidated sediments and into the underlying bedrock. In some cases drilling was not continued far enough into the bedrock to permit identification of the bedrock formation, and some of the bedrock identifications thus are doubtful.
