Well Drillers Near Oxford, Wisconsin
The typical Oxford-area well penetrates a sequence of sand and clay-dominated unconsolidated materials, underlain by sandstone, with occasional gravel or hard rock layers. Most residential wells (5-30 gpm) are completed between 80 and 140 feet, with irrigation/high-capacity wells extending deeper as needed for yield.

Detailed Summary
Based on representative well logs from the Oxford region, the subsurface profile typically consists of: (1) surficial sandy/sandy loam soils, (2) interbedded sand and occasional sandy clay or silt layers, often with some coarse or gravelly intervals, and zones of clay at variable depths, (3) a thick, generally medium to coarse sand or sand-and-gravel aquifer (primary water-producing zone for most residential wells), and (4) underlying sandstone, with some records noting soft/fine sandstone followed by harder or more consolidated bedrock at greater depths. The unconsolidated aquifer (sand/gravel) is usually cased through, with the screen or open bottom set just above or into sandstone. Typical static water levels are shallow; most residential wells achieving 10–30 gpm are completed at ~80–120 feet, while irrigation/high-capacity wells may be 275–320+ feet depending on local demand and geology. Clay intervals may extend locally to 100+ feet but are usually interbedded with water-bearing sand.
Expected Geological Layers
| Depth (Feet) | Formation Type | Description | Characteristics |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 – 2 ft | Sandy Loam/Topsoil | Sand or sandy loam, brown, loose; organic topsoil at surface. | Color: Brown Hardness: Soft |
| 2 – 25 ft | Sand/Sandy Clay (occasional silt, loam, or boulders) | Fine to medium sand, occasional sandy clay, rare boulders, some streaks of silt. | Color: Tan/Yellow/Brown Hardness: Loose to Firm |
| 25 – 75 ft | Sand (fine to medium, local coarse or with gravel) | Dominantly medium to coarse sand, sometimes with fine gravel or silt layers. | Color: Tan/Yellow Hardness: Medium |
| 75 – 100 ft | Sand (medium/coarse), local coarse, gravelly or clayey sand | Aquifer zone; major water-producing sand, often with some gravel or clayey intervals. | Color: Light Tan Hardness: Medium to Coarse |
| 100 – 150 ft | Clay and/or Silty Sand (occasionally present as lenses) | Clay or silty/clayey sand, present in some but not all wells, may be discontinuous. | Color: Gray/Olive/Buff Hardness: Soft to Firm |
| 150 – 272 ft | Sand (medium to coarse, with gravel) | Aquifer continues deeper for high capacity wells, generally medium/coarse sand and occasional gravel beds. | Color: Yellow/Brown Hardness: Medium |
| 272 – 320 ft | Sandstone | Soft to hard sandstone, serves as a deeper aquifer or well bottom; harder and less productive near base. | Color: Tan/Light Brown Hardness: Soft to Firm to Hard |
| 320 – 340 ft | Shale/Rock (if present) | Hard shale or consolidated rock, not always encountered; represents base of typical wells. | Color: Gray Hardness: Hard |
