HILLIARD. 
Hilliard is located in northwestern Nassau County on the At¬ 
lantic Coast Line Railroad and about eight miles distant from the 
St. Marys RUer. No flowing wells have been reported in this 
part of the county, the elevation being too great. The elevation of 
the depot at Hilliard as recorded by the Atlantic Coast Line Rail¬ 
road is 66 feet. Mr. D. W. Grifling has kindly furnished sev¬ 
eral points of elevation covering the property of the Cornwall 
Farm Land Company. 
The only deep well reported at Hilliard is owned by The Corn¬ 
wall Farm Land Company and was drilled by J. W. Wiggins in 
1909. It is an eight inch well, 648feet in depth and cased about 
400 feet. The elevation at the well is somewhat above the depot 
and the water is reported to rise to within 12 feet of the surface.
