Name: Michigan Well Data
Creator: DrillerDB

Every dot on this map is a real well. We pulled all 1,171,154 Michigan well-construction records - depth, water level, yield, and county - and drew the state with them. Brighter means more wells; color is how deep they go.

Distinct drilling companies on record

The median Michigan well is 95 ft deep; the average is a bit higher (about 143 ft), pulled up by a long tail of very deep wells in the Driftless Area and the Door Peninsula. Numbers here come straight from filed well-construction reports - not a model.

How deep Michigan wells go

Each bar is the share of wells finished at that depth (20-ft bins). Most Michigan wells land between 40 and 200 ft.

Michigan well questions

How deep are wells in Michigan?

The median water well in Michigan is 95 ft deep, based on 1,166,023 records with a reported depth. Half of all wells fall between 63 and 147 ft. Depth varies a lot by county - from about 48 ft in the shallowest counties to over 219 ft in the deepest.

What is the water table depth in Michigan?

The median static water level (the depth to standing groundwater) across Michigan records is about 27 ft. It is usually much shallower than the finished well depth, because wells are drilled past the water table to reach a dependable aquifer.

How many well records does Michigan have?

DrillerDB holds 1,171,154 Michigan well records - part of an 18-million-record national database built from state well-construction reports. Michigan has required a well construction report for every new well since 1936.

How do I look up a specific address or well in Michigan?

Use the free water table depth lookup to see typical depth and water level at any address, or open the interactive well map to browse individual well records near a location.
