Report Title: Records of water-level measurements in wells in wells in
Oklahoma panhandle, 1971-72
Report Number: OFR 72-464

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 1971-72 and
the water-level change for the period 1966-72 in Texas County, and for
the period 1967-72 in Beaver and Cimarron Counties. At the present
time (1972) the annual observation-well network includes 521 wells, of
which 97 are in Beaver County, 203 are in Cimarron County, and 221 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.
