Detailed Summary
The representative geological profile for the Harbor Springs region starts with a thin layer of sand or topsoil, followed by interbedded sand and gravel units often containing one or more clay layers. At depths of approximately 100 to 200 feet, layers of water-bearing sand and gravel are typical, frequently serving as the primary aquifer for household supply. In some areas and deeper wells, limestone, shale, and additional clay layers are present below 150-200 ft, with the deepest wells often ending in fractured limestone or mixed limestone/shale with occasional water-bearing zones. Most residential wells (yielding 5–15+ GPM) are completed between 120 and 220 ft, usually in the more permeable sand/gravel aquifer above bedrock.
