A compilation of records of about 450 wells in the Fairbanks area is presented herein. The data were collected by D. J. Cedarstrom and Troy L. Pewe during the first phases of an investigation by the United States Geological Survey of the permafrost, terrain, and water resources of the Fairbanks area. The enclosed map of the area, showing well locations, was prepared by the Regional Sanitary Engineer, Sanitation and Engineering, Alaska Department of Health and Welfare. The data were released to the Survey's open file in 1948, but are reproduced in the Alaska Department of Health and Welfare Hydrological Data series to insure preservation.
Where known, the data include for each well the names of the owner and driller; the depth of the well; the depth to the top and bottom of permafrost; and the reported quality of water. The well records and location may be very useful for future subsurface investigations or construction.
The well location map was based on the Fairbanks street names as of 1948. Since that time, many of the street names and the numbering system have changed. Hence, the reader should not refer to the address of a particular well, but to the well number when locating a well on the map.
The Geological Survey has recompiled the well data in the Fairbanks area for its final phase of a ground-water study. Data through 1954 is to be presented in a Water-Supply Paper now in preparation. Pertinent portions of the enclosed well data will be presented in the forthcoming report.
Some of the enclosed well data, and additional well logs, have been published in a report (Pewe, Troy L., 1958, Geology of the Fairbanks (D-2) quadrangle, Alaska: U. S. Geological Survey GQ 110) describing the geology and subsurface conditions in the area.

The investigation included a general survey or the existing wells, pumping schedules, and records of pumpage and water levels.
Appreciation is expressed for the cooperation of personnel or the Corps of Engineers, particularly to H. B. Norain and H. Wortman. In addition, the Layne-Texas Co., the C. L. North Co., and Mr. C. F. Gill of the El Paso Public Service Board were helpful in supplying data not available in the files of Biggs Air Force Base. A considerable amount of data used in this report are published in Water-Supply Paper 1426 of the Geological Survey.

The Mancos shale inter-tongues with the Blackhawk formation.
The Mancos shale formed in an offshore marine environment, the Blackhawk formation formed in a mixed marine and continental environment and the Castlegate and Price River formations at Sunnyside, Utah formed in a continental environment.
Thin even bedding characterizes the Mancos shale except where it extends as a thin tongue into the Blackhawk formation. Tongues of the Mancos shale in the Blackhawk formation have in places disrupted bedding and locally contain impressions of twigs and branches. Disrupted bedding with mottling, irregular and uneven bedding, and very thick bedding with cross stratification resembling lower foreshore laminae, are primary structures common in modern marine sediments and can also be found in the marine tongues of the Blackhawk formation. Massive, wedge-shaped, cut-and-fill structures characteristic of fluviatile deposits are found in the Castlegate-Price River formations.
Particle size distribution in the marine tongues of the Blackhawk formation shows an increasing coarseness as shoreline deposits are approached. Coal particles are generally absent in the marine sandstones of the Blackhawk formation but are commonly found in abundance in the continental sandstones in the Blackhawk.
The economic coal beds within the Blackhawk formation at Sunnyside have been reported as consisting of a \"Lower\" Sunnyside seam and an \"Upper\" Sunnyside seam. Stratigraphic sections and drill logs indicate that these seams may be splits of one major coal bed and that the term \"Upper\" Sunnyside seam refers to more than one major split.
The relationship of the splits in the Sunnyside coal seams and the lithologic characteristics of the coal indicate that the coal swamp existed on a low-lying coastal plain close to sea level where swamp accumulations were interrupted occasionally by fluviatile deposition.
Subsidence due to compaction of underlying sediments, aggradation as the shoreline regressed as well as slow tectonic subsidence or gradual eustatic rise in sea level are factors which may account for the thickness of the Sunnyside coal beds.
