  22.             <abstract>From the early 1930's to the present, the Nebraska Conservation and Survey Division (CSD) has drilled 'test holes' to examine the geology and hydrogeology of Nebraska. The wells emphasized stratigraphy and water supply. On-site sample description, and collection of samples for analysis were major parts of the 'survey' mission. Over 4500 wells have been drilled as part of the testhole program. CSD geoscientists described the drilling logs in detail on site, and later. Reworking of the log and description are common, as staff and abilities change. This database is the archive of that effort. This database emphasizes location, a parallel set of log books describes the wells.</abstract>
  23.             <purpose>Summary of the testhole drilling program done by CSD, showing testholes in the Newark Quadrangle.</purpose>
  24.             <supplinf>This dataset is a sub-set of the state-wide dataset available from the Conservation and Survey Division. This subset consists of four wells.</supplinf>
