Detailed Summary
Based on synthesis of sampled Cheboygan area well logs, the representative geologic sequence (to ~175 ft) begins with thin surficial sand or gravel; followed by a substantial clay or hardpan unit (commonly 50–100+ ft thick); transitioning to another sand or sand-gravel layer, sometimes interbedded with minor gravels or clays; and typically terminating in a coarse sand or sand/gravel aquifer zone. Clay composition, color, and degree of hardness can vary but is consistently reported as the thickest confining unit. Residential wells are generally completed in lower sand/gravel layers between 100–140 feet, with deeper high-capacity installs (e.g. irrigation or small municipal) extending into thicker aquifer zones at 150+ ft. Static water levels are variable but commonly 13–60 ft below grade (occasionally flowing wells present near surface).
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 3 ft | Sand/Gravel (surficial, occasionally muck/topsoil cover) | Thin surficial deposit, sometimes including a thin organic muck or topsoil horizon. | Color: Brown to black Hardness: Loose |
| 3 – 15 ft | Sand/Gravel | Medium to coarse sand, sometimes gravel-rich, may include minor silt or clay lenses. | Color: Brown, light brown Hardness: Loose to medium |
| 15 – 95 ft | Clay/Hardpan | Main regional confining unit. Silty, sometimes sticky, occasionally interbedded with thin sand or silt, typically massive. Hardpan sections present, locally with sandy pockets. | Color: Gray to brown Hardness: Soft to hard (increasing with depth) |
| 95 – 110 ft | Sand/Gravel (fine to medium, interlaminated with clay in places) | Water-bearing sand, may include some gravel. Locally minor sticky clay intervals. Target of some screens. | Color: Brown Hardness: Medium |
| 110 – 120 ft | Clay (with sand) | Interbedded or blended clay, some sandy lenses. | Color: Gray or brown Hardness: Medium |
| 120 – 140 ft | Sand/Gravel (coarse, main aquifer) | Main water-bearing aquifer for most residential wells. Medium to coarse, sometimes gravelly, locally with minor clay. | Color: Light brown, tan Hardness: Medium to loose |
| 140 – 175 ft | Sand and Gravel (very coarse, basal aquifer) | Thickest sand/gravel, can yield high volumes, forms base of most deep wells. | Color: Tan, light brown, variable Hardness: Loose |
