Detailed Summary

Based on a synthesis of well logs throughout Menominee and nearby areas, the most common geologic profile begins with 15-20 ft of sand, sandy clay, or sand mixed with stones. This is followed by a thick sequence (20-25 ft) of clay, clay mixed with stone or gravel, sometimes featuring alternating minor sand or stone lenses. The upper unconsolidated section usually extends to ~40 ft deep. Below this, fractured gray limestone (occasionally described as dark gray, hard, or with some red tones) predominates to the base of most sampled wells. Static water tables are typically between 8-18 ft. Most residential wells yielding 10-15+ GPM are completed at depths of 45-55 feet, just into the limestone bedrock. High-capacity or industrial wells may extend to 75-95 ft or more in the limestone, but the dominant functional sequence remains consistent.

Expected Geological Layers

Depth (Feet)Formation TypeDescriptionCharacteristics
0 – 18 ftSand/Sandy clay (locally with stones or gravel)Loose to compact sand or sandy clay, may include layers of brown, red, or mixed stones/gravel. Unsaturated to seasonally saturated. Caving possible.Color: Brown to reddish, locally gray
Hardness: Soft to firm
18 – 40 ftClay & Stones/Clay (locally silty, with layers of stones, some red/brown layers, minor sand lenses)Clay, often with stones or minor sand/gravel layers. Acts as an aquitard above bedrock. Generally non-caving but can be sticky.Color: Gray, red, or brown
Hardness: Firm to stiff
40 – 80 ftFractured Limestone (Bedrock)Gray or dark gray fractured limestone, sometimes with minor chert. Saturated and productive aquifer zone for most wells. May be hard, but fracturing increases water yield.Color: Gray to dark gray
Hardness: Hard
