North Carolina Well Data Turns 22,947 USGS Records Into a Local Lookup
A location-based directory of North Carolina groundwater wells, with depths, aquifers, completion dates, county medians, and links to the underlying USGS records.
Field notes
The service reorganizes USGS National Water Information System groundwater-site records around a map location rather than relying on street-address records, which the site says are generally unavailable. It reports nearby depth distributions, aquifers, completion dates, and links to individual government records. The homepage lists 22,947 indexed wells across all 100 North Carolina counties, with county-level medians ranging from examples such as 14 feet in Camden County to 400 feet in Gates County.
