Records of Typical Wells

Descriptions of the wells visited in Meade County are given in table 10. The wells are listed in order by townships from north to south and by ranges from east to west. Within a township the wells 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 table, and depths to water level of non-flowing wells not classed as "reported" are measured and given to the nearest hundredth of a foot.
