Detailed Summary

Based on the synthesis of multiple well logs in and around Cass City, Michigan, the typical subsurface profile begins with surface to shallow subsurface clay (often with alternating thin sand or gravel lenses), progressing downward into thicker sequences of clay, followed by alternating sand and gravel zones. Below the surficial deposits, the most consistent bedrock sequence features interbedded shale and limestone, transitioning into thick water-bearing sandstone units. The sandstone is the primary aquifer for residential and high-capacity wells. Outliers and unusual lithologies have been suppressed to prioritize the most common sequence across the region.
