Well Drillers Near Boyne Falls, Michigan

A geological estimate for the Boyne Falls area.

Detailed Summary

A representative geologic profile for Boyne Falls and adjacent areas consists of an upper sequence of sand and gravel (often mixed with clay, silt, and stones) extending from the surface to approximately 30–100 feet. This is followed by variable thicknesses of clay, silt, and fine sand, commonly alternating with layers of shale. Below 100–140 feet, limestone (often fractured or hard) becomes more prevalent, commonly interbedded with additional shale or blue clay. In deep wells, thick units of limestone dominate below about 200–230 feet before grading down into bedrock, predominantly limestone and dolostone, sometimes fractured or water-bearing. Wells targeting 5–15+ GPM for residential use typically draw from coarse sand/gravel units or productive fractured limestone/shale zones between 80–200 feet.
