FLORIDA STATE GEOLOGICAL SURVEY. 
LOCAL, DETAILS. 
BALDWIN. 
Baldwin is located on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, nine¬ 
teen miles west of Jacksonville. The elevation is approximately 
86 feet above sea. Three wells have been drilled at or near Bald¬ 
win. The deepest of these, located at the Atlantic Coast Line Rail¬ 
road crossing, one-half mile north of Baldwin, is reported to reach 
a total depth of 580 feet and is cased 511 feet. A second well 
nearby reaches a depth of 100 feet. A third well located at Bald¬ 
win reaches a depth of 92 feet. All of these wells are non-flowing, 
although the water rises within a few feet of the surface. The 
distance at which the water stands from the surface in the deep 
web is not reported beyond the statement that the well is non- 
flowing. 
BAYARD. 
Bayard is located on the Florida East Coast Railway, fifteen 
miles south of Jacksonville. The elevation of this place is ap¬ 
proximately 22 feet above sea. Flowing water is obtained at 
Bayard, one well having been put down for the Carter-Lucas 
Co. This is a three-inch well, reported to have been drilled to a 
depth of 280 feet. The water here will rise at least fifteen feet 
above the surface. 
JACKSONVILLE. 
The large number of wells occurring at Jacksonville precludes 
the possibility of listing or describing all. Probably not less than 
five hundred flowing wells occur in or near this city. 
The first flow obtained at Jacksonville, according to the rec¬ 
ords of the city well, was a light flow from a depth of 487 feet. 
A large flow, however, is not obtained until the drill enters the 
Vicksburg limestones, at a depth of about 524 feet. After reach¬ 
ing the Vicksburg the flow increases upon breaking each compact 
layer. At a depth of 632 feet the flow in the new city well was 
found to be one million gallons per day. At a depth of 980 feet
