RECORDS OF WAT~ ~LEVEL MEASUREMENTS IN HASKELL AND

KNOX COUNTIES, TEXAS

Campiled by.

C. R. Follett, Engineer

Texas·· state :Soard ·of Water Engineers.,

September 1955

The bulletin contains records of measurements of the depth to water,in·

feet be~ow land-surface.¢latum 'in 28 wells in Haskell County and 15 we·lls in

Knox County. It is one of a series of publications by the Texas state Board

of Water Engineers which contains measurements of the.water levels in selected

observation wells made as a part of the cooperative program of ground-water

investigations throughout Texas by the United sta,tes .Geological Survey and

the Texas State Board of Water Engineers. The records cover the years 1944

The accompanying maps show the locations of the observation wells •.

Hydrographs showing the fluctuation of the water level in a few selected

wells and the precipitation at a nearby Weather Bureau station are given for

each county. Records of wells, geologic data, and pumpage data are given in

the following publications.
