Report Title: Records of water-level measurements in wells in the Oklahoma
panhandle, 1966-70
Report Number: OFR 71-344
Authors: Donald L. Hart, Jr., and others
Abstract
Investigations of the ground-water resources of the Oklahoma panhandle
by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water
Resources Board includes collection of water-level records; the
systematic collection of these records began in 1937. Records of many
shallow wells were compiled in 1937 and periodic measurements were
made in a few wells until 1966. Owing to the heavy development of
irrigation during the 1960's (fig. 1) an expanded network of
observation wells established in Texas County in 1966 and in Beaver
and Cimarron Counties in 1967; measurement of water levels have been
made on an annual basis since those times.
This report contains water-level records for the period 1966-70 in
Texas County, and for the period 1967-70 in Beaver and Cimarron
Counties. At the present time (1971) the annual observation-well
network includes 528 wells, of which 98 are in Beaver County, 211 are
in Cimarron County, and 219 are in Texas County. These data provide an
index to available ground-water supplies; they will be useful in
planning and studying water resources development; and they will serve
as a framework of data for the detailed hydrologic investigation now
in progress in the panhandle.
