Report Title: Ground-water data of selected test holes and wells along the
Verdigris River in Wagoner and Rogers Counties, Oklahoma
Report Number: OFR 65-156
Author: H.H. Tanaka, D.L. Hart, Jr., and R.K. Knott
Abstract
The data in this report were collected during the period 1958-64 by
the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the U.S. Army, Corps of
Engineers, as part of a comprehensive study of the ground-water
resources of the alluvium along the Arkansas and Verdigris Rivers
between Moffett and Catoosa, Oklahoma (fig. 1). The purpose of this
report is to make the hydrologic data obtained during the study of
ground water in the alluvium along the Verdigris River in Wagoner and
Rogers Counties readily available to the public. The data in this
report should be useful in predicting geologic and hydrologic
conditions when drilling new wells. Table 1 gives information on the
sizes, depths, yields, and other characteristics of wells in the
area. The table also provides a key to the additional information for
each well site given in tables 2 through 6. Table 2 gives logs for the
materials penetrated at test holes and wells in the report area; table
3 gives depths to water measured in wells; table 4 includes chemical
analyses of water from wells; table 5 gives laboratory determinations
of particle-size distribution of earth samples collected from test
holes and wells; and table 6 gives coefficients of permeability and
other hydrologic properties of earth samples from the selected test
holes. Similar data for Sequoyah County, LeFlore-Haskell Counties, and
Muskogee County are available in other open-file reports.
An interpretive report, "Hydrology of the alluvium of the Arkansas
River, Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Fort Smith, Arkansas," by Harry
H. Tanaka and Jerrald R. Hollowell will be published as
U.S. Geological Survey Water-Supply Paper 1809-T.
