Records of Typical Wells and Springs

Descriptions of the wells and springs visited in Kiowa County are given in Tables 8 and 9, respectively. The wells and springs are listed in order by townships from north to south and by ranges from east to west. Within a township they are listed in the order of the sections. All information classed as "reported" was obtained from the owner, tenant, or driller. Depths of wells not classed as "reported" are measured and given to the nearest tenth of a foot below the measuring point described in the tables, and depths to water level not classed as "reported"' are measured and given to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
