A township without a link has too few measured sections or too few named drillers to carry a page of its own; it is still in the search box.* | Township | Measured | Median change | Drillers | |---|---|---|---| | 11S27W | 36 | 12.8 ft | 19 | | 11S28W | 36 | 3.7 ft | 15 | | 11S29W | 36 | 3.3 ft | 8 | | 11S30W | 36 | 8.2 ft | 18 | | [11S31W](/township/11s31w.md) | 36 | 13.5 ft | 33 | | 12S26W | 36 | -13.5 ft | 9 | | 12S31W | 36 | 25.5 ft | 8 | | [11S26W](/township/11s26w.md) | 35 | 1.0 ft | 23 | | 12S27W | 34 | -33.9 ft | 9 | | 12S28W | 27 | -37.0 ft | 7 | | 12S30W | 27 | -2.6 ft | 11 | | 13S31W | 21 | 2.0 ft | 6 | | 13S30W | 20 | -15.2 ft | 7 | | 12S29W | 18 | -35.9 ft | 5 | | 13S26W | 9 | -28.6 ft | 6 | | 13S27W | 3 | -47.8 ft | 5 | | 13S29W | 1 | -35.0 ft | 6 | | 15S31W | 1 | -18.6 ft | 4 | | 15S30W | 0 | — | 4 | | 15S26W | 0 | — | 7 | ### Who has drilled in Gove County *Drillers of record across the county, busiest first.
