Well Drillers Near Hurley, Wisconsin

A geological estimate for the Hurley area.

Detailed Summary

Review of representative well records from Hurley and adjacent townships reveals a consistent geologic profile. The most common sequence begins with a clay (frequently described as stony, sandy, or with gravel/rocks) to depths of roughly 10–20 feet (sometimes up to 30 feet), occasionally with a thin surface sand/gravel zone. This is underlain by hard crystalline bedrock, primarily granite, which is present at most sites from just below the clay to the total drilled depth, often extending well below 100 feet and sometimes over 200 feet bgs. Sandstone is rare but locally replaces granite in one well (UR600). Community wells may encounter thicker unconsolidated sand/gravel packages (up to 47 feet), but for residential bedrock wells, this is not typical.
