Thanks, I was wondering if there were some way you could tell me how many feet above sea level this USGS -- Groundwater Watch area of this well might be so that maybe I could use that number and then use how many feet above sea level my property might be and then maybe I could have a guestimate as to how many feet below the surface I might have groundwater.
I hope that makes sense?
This rainbow springs well is quite a few miles from my property but I do not know any other reference to use to get an idea of groundwater levels for my property
Do you have a better idea?
Im also wondering if you have any idea of where I might find something that tell me how far the sand goes down, whats below that and then below that. Do charts like this exist?
I have contacted the local extension services but havent heard back from anyone about this.

Yes, the Rainbow Springs well is far enough away that it might not be applicable to drilling on your property, Jason.
Mark's idea of checking for a state database of drilled private wells seemed more promising. Here's the link that you need if you want to do more looking around:

Since I was in there anyway I saved the well completion logs from four wells surrounding your property. All within half a mile. The "Measured Static Water Level" ranges from 40 feet to 71 feet.
