What 35 household well records tell you
The domestic subset contains 35 positive total-depth logs. Their median reported depth is 124 feet, the middle half runs from 100 to 159 feet, and the 90th-percentile planning marker is 198.4 feet. The full recorded domestic range is 23 to 300 feet, with a 132.5-foot average.
Those markers describe a small historical sample, not a standard for every Cottle County tract. Location, record date, elevation, construction details, intended demand, and the water-bearing interval can all change the relevance of a nearby filing. The 23-foot minimum is not a best-case budget, and 300 feet is not a drilling ceiling.
Recorded domestic well depths
The middle half of reported domestic depths
Cottle County’s well file is mostly non-domestic
Stock use accounts for 134 of the county’s 209 submitted driller records, while only 35 are domestic. Keeping household, stock, irrigation, monitor, and small specialty cohorts separate protects the household depth picture.
Domestic depth logs
Positive household total-depth logs. The median is 124 feet, the middle half runs from 100 to 159 feet, the 90th-percentile marker is 198.4 feet, and the recorded range is 23 to 300 feet.
Stock records
Stock wells are the largest local group and average 145.8 feet. They can add ranch context after domestic records are considered, but their intended demand and system design may differ.
Irrigation records
Irrigation records average 174.3 feet. Their demand and design belong in a separate lane rather than a household-depth estimate.
Monitor records
Monitor records average 25.4 feet. Their purpose is different from a household completion, so their shallow depths must not pull a residential comparison down.
Small specialty cohorts
The remaining rows include two industrial records, one test well, and one rig-supply record. These small groups should stay attached to their reported use and source record.
Cottle County’s broad file needs to be sorted by purpose
A countywide number dominated by livestock wells is not a clean household comparison. Household planning should begin with domestic records while keeping every record’s purpose, coordinates, date, and source together.

The complete Rolling Plains job is more than drilling footage
Gate width, overhead lines, slope, wet-weather access, septic placement, distance to power, intended demand, and equipment choices all belong in the plan.
Property access
Roads, gates, low brush, overhead lines, utility conflicts, turning room, and a safe stabilized work pad for the rig and support truck.
Water demand
Household use, livestock, irrigation, storage, treatment, and peak daily needs.
Pump and power
Pump selection, anticipated drawdown, electrical service, controls, pressure tank, line runs, and trenching.
Complete installation
Casing, completion materials, testing, storage, plumbing, treatment, freeze protection, cleanup, and startup.

Separate drilling footage from the finished system
A complete Cottle County budget may include mobilization, drilling, casing, completion materials, pump and controls, pressure equipment, trenching, electrical work, storage, testing, treatment, freeze protection, and cleanup. The Texas water well drilling cost guide explains the major categories behind a headline estimate.
Only 13 domestic filings report a positive pump depth. Their median is 116 feet, the middle half runs from 96 to 140 feet, the 90th-percentile marker is 159.2 feet, and the full range is 22 to 185 feet. This small historical subset does not prescribe a new pump setting; water level, drawdown, demand, equipment, and the completed well control that decision. The Texas private-well maintenance guide can help organize questions about an existing system.

Pre-Drill Intelligence Report
The county information on this page shows broad patterns. The paid report narrows the research to one Cottle County property before you compare drilling quotes or choose the next step for your land.
- Nearby recorded wells and reported depths
- Property access and site-planning questions
- Questions to ask before drilling begins
- A clearer picture of the complete water system
Understand the ground before you drill. The groundwater database contains 59 Cottle County rows: 30 are labeled Blaine, 28 Other, and one Blaine/Other. These historical labels provide regional clues but do not prove the aquifer, depth, yield, water level, or chemistry for a tract. The Texas water wells guide explains why total depth, casing, completion, water level, pump setting, and intended use answer different questions. Check the exact address or coordinates with the Texas groundwater conservation district lookup and confirm current requirements directly with the responsible authority. The county’s 32 plugged-well rows show county history, not proof about a property. Use the Texas water-well disclosure guide when an existing well is part of a sale.

Plain answers before you plan the work
What do Cottle County household well records show?
The county file includes 35 usable domestic total-depth logs with a 124-foot median, a 100-to-159-foot middle band, and a 198.4-foot upper marker. A property-level comparison is still needed before planning a new well.
Why can a broad Cottle County average be misleading?
Stock wells make up 134 of the county’s 209 submitted-driller records, while domestic use has only 35. Separating records by use produces a more useful household planning picture.
Does a Blaine label identify the aquifer for a tract?
No. Historical Blaine, Other, and mixed database labels provide regional context but do not prove the producing interval or authority for a property. Check exact mapping and confirm current requirements directly.
Can a historical pump depth set a new pump?
No. The 13 positive domestic pump-depth values are a small historical subset. A contractor should evaluate water level, drawdown, demand, pump characteristics, and the completed well.
Does a filed depth answer water quality or yield?
No. Depth, pump setting, aquifer label, and nearby records do not guarantee current yield or chemistry. Field measurements, appropriate laboratory testing, and licensed contractor guidance are still required.
Water Well Drilling Across Cottle County
From Paducah and Cee Vee to open ranchland and rural homesites, Cottle County planning starts with exact coordinates, proposed use, access, power, and nearby domestic records. Mailing-place labels are orientation aids, not proof that records share geology, groundwater conditions, or jurisdiction.
