Detailed Summary

Analysis of regional well logs from Brandon, WI, and surrounding townships indicates a representative stratigraphy consisting of ~8–10 ft of surficial clay (sometimes with boulders or sand), followed by a mixed clay-with-gravel sequence extending to ~60–80 ft. This is typically underlain by a thick limestone or dolomite bedrock, occasionally interbedded with minor shale, to depths of ~180–200 ft. In many logs, a layer of sandstone or 'sandrock' follows limestone. Occasional reports of deeper granite or additional sandstone reflect local anomalies. Most residential wells (5–15+ GPM) are completed in the upper/middle limestone, within 160–210 ft total depth range.
