Detailed Summary

Analysis of representative well records from the Hawks region in Presque Isle County, MI shows a typical geological profile starting with substantial clay overburden (often 35–60 ft), sometimes interbedded with sand or gravel. The most prevalent deeper unit is consolidated limestone bedrock, though thick water-bearing sand/gravel intervals are also present in some areas, especially between 40 and 86 ft. Most domestic wells are completed into limestone, but some high-yield screened wells exist in deeper gravel. Residential yields of 5–20+ GPM are typical, with static water levels ranging widely (typically 10–80 ft). Standard casing is set through overburden and grouted with bentonite slurry, and rotary drilling/mud circulation is the dominant method.
