Inside South Dakota’s public well records
Public well-log records include mapped location, depth, completion, driller, aquifer and static-water fields; location accuracy varies by record and should be verified against the source log.
These are retrieved public records, shown so you can see the identifiers, available values and gaps before running your own lookup. They are regional examples, not a statewide sample or a prediction for a property.
| Public record ID | Published locality | Published use / type | Status / location quality | Recorded depth | Reported rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| {A162C449-EEA0-4A3A-88FF-1461D0803449} | Minnehaha | MW | Status not reportedTRSOTH100 | 21 ft | Not reported |
| {2C0F287C-26BA-4C88-B9D6-2AAD74AFD0D9} | Minnehaha | PLG | Status not reportedTRSOTH100 | 53 ft | Not reported |
| {8437A48F-6755-4A33-8E94-2B904FE3839E} | Minnehaha | MW | Status not reportedTRSOTH100 | 32 ft | Not reported |
Depths are converted from the lookup’s normalized meters to feet. Reported rate can represent yield, a pump-test rate or pump capacity depending on the source; these values are historical and are not interchangeable. A source zero can be a placeholder or a reported result: verify its meaning in the original file. “Not reported” means no comparable value was retained, not zero and not proof that the original file lacks all information.
No comparable reported rate is available in these examples; a supply estimate cannot be calculated from them.
How to verify a South Dakota record
Use the public log GUID and report link, then check publication and location-accuracy fields. Read the static-value type before interpreting a water-level value; not every reported value has the same reference.
Open South Dakota DENR Well Logs ↗ and search for the identifiers above. Compare the original filing, location method and well type with seller documents and a physical well identifier.
Review method: up to three distinct public identifiers selected in returned distance order from an existing regional lookup, without selecting for an attractive depth or yield. Re-run the example lookup ↗ · How these reviews are prepared
South Dakota DENR Well Logs
South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources
Public well-log records include mapped location, depth, completion, driller, aquifer and static-water fields; location accuracy varies by record and should be verified against the source log.
What you can find in South Dakota well records
Available fields vary by individual filing, but the South Dakota integration can surface:
- permit or well identifier
- well depth
- static water level
- completion date
- well type
- aquifer
- driller
- county
- location method
- location accuracy
- source link
How to search the South Dakota well map and read a well log
- Enter the full property address above to locate the property and open nearby mapped records.
- Compare record identifiers, well type, completion date and distance before deciding which wells are relevant.
- Open the public source below to trace an original well log or completion report where the agency publishes one. A mapped summary may omit details from that document.
- Verify the actual property well with the seller, record identifiers and an on-site inspection; nearby records alone cannot identify it.
How to use the record before buying a property
South Dakota's public layer provides the core depth, water-level and aquifer context needed for useful nearby-well comparisons while preserving location-quality fields.
Start with the address search, compare the closest records and their distances, then open the public source before treating a record as the subject property's well. If water quality or current performance matters, use current testing and an on-site well inspection.
South Dakota coverage limitation
South Dakota well-log records vary in completeness and location precision. A nearby point should be checked against the original record and the physical property before it is treated as the subject well.
Public South Dakota source
WellLookup is independent of South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources. The underlying public source is South Dakota DENR Well Logs. WellLookup adds address search, nearby-record comparison and property-focused reporting; it preserves the published source values.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. Enter a street address and WellLookup will search nearby mapped records from the supported South Dakota source.
Not necessarily. Location precision varies, so verify identifiers, documents and the physical well before relying on the match.
The $29.99 USD property report organizes the available evidence, nearby comparisons, source limitations and follow-up questions into one PDF.
