Detailed Summary
Based on representative well logs from the Hitchcock area, the typical geologic sequence starts with yellow sand or clay, followed by substantial intervals of clay with interbedded sand and occasional gravel or coal, and ending in deeper coarse sand and blue clay. Most residential wells penetrate to 75-85 feet, with static water levels typically observed between 15-45 feet. The dominant formations are yellow sand/clay, blue/gray clay, fine to medium gray sand (sometimes with coal or gravel), and occasional thin till or silt beds. Residential wells commonly provide 5-15+ GPM at these depths, while some deeper agricultural/municipal wells exceed 85 feet for higher capacity or yield.
