Detailed Summary
Based on the sampled records around Manton, the regional subsurface is dominantly sand and gravel throughout, often with 1-3 shallow clay or clayey sand intervals of varying thickness (usually in the 18-50 ft range), then transitions into thicker, persistent sand/gravel aquifer zones by 40-60 ft and extending below 80-100+ ft. Outliers with deep clays or very shallow completions were disregarded for the representative profile. The static water table tends to be between 8 and 54 ft below ground. Most residential wells yielding 10-15+ GPM are completed at 55-97 ft. Deeper, higher-capacity wells (municipal or for large needs) typically extend to 140-195 ft, tapping into thicker lower sand and gravel strata.
