Records and logs of selected wells and test holes, chemical analyses of water, and water levels in observation wells in southeastern New Hampshire

The area covered by this report (fig. 1) includes about 390 square miles of southeastern New Hampshire adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean. It lies between Massachusetts on the south and Maine on the north and east, and it is bounded on the east by the Atlantic Ocean and on the west by a line drawn approximately northward from Atkinson at the Massachusetts border to Farmington near the Maine border. The area includes parts of Rockingham and Strafford Counties.

The report presents basic data collected as part of an investigation of the geology and ground-water resources of southeastern New Hampshire by the U. S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the New Hampshire Water Resources Board. These data have been prepared for release in order to make available to the public basic ground-water data that will be useful in the planning of water-resources development.

Most of the data contained in this report were collected by Edward Bradley during the period September 1953 to January 1958.
