Based on representative well log data from the Highland Charter Township area, the most common subsurface sequence begins with a substantial sand and gravel unit at the surface, followed by a thick clay layer, and ends with a coarse sand or gravel water-bearing layer. This configuration typically delivers reliable residential water yields (10–15+ GPM) at moderate depths. Anomalous or intermittent geologic units (e.g., minor hardpan, thin additional clays) occur but are not considered dominant. The profile below synthesizes thicknesses and depths across the sampled logs to best represent the ‘average’ local stratigraphy. Most residential wells are completed within the upper portion of the basal sand/gravel layer (typically between 65 and 85 feet) to obtain 5–15 GPM domestic supply. High-capacity wells may extend deeper into the basal gravel or reach coarser, thicker sand/gravel beds.
Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
---|---|---|---|
0 – 28 ft | Sand & Gravel | Brown, loose to medium-packed, silty in places, with some cobbles and minor stones in upper 10 ft. | Color: Brown/Gray Hardness: Loose to medium |
28 – 61 ft | Clay | Gray to blue, dense to stiff, locally contains thin interbeds of silt or sand, hardpan lenses possible but not dominant. | Color: Gray/Blue Hardness: Stiff/Hard |
61 – 74 ft | Gravel | Coarse, typically gray, main water-bearing unit; clean to slightly silty, locally intermixed with sand. | Color: Gray Hardness: Loose/Medium |
