Detailed Summary
Analysis of multiple well logs in the Iron River area shows a consistent stratigraphy: surface layers of sand, clay, or silt (20-60 ft thick), underlain by a hardpan (glacial till, occasionally with cobbles or gravel), and then by deeper water-bearing units, typically sand, gravel, or sandstone. Most productive aquifers are found between 80 and 170 ft, though some deeper wells encounter additional sand or sandstone beds as deep as 300 ft. Static water levels are often between 40 and 80 feet below ground. The most reliable residential wells are cased to 80–100 ft, with screen/open intervals in deeper water-bearing strata, commonly producing 10–15 GPM.
