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 | |---|---|---|---| | 26S42W | 34 | 119.9 ft | 17 | | 21S39W | 33 | -10.3 ft | 5 | | 21S40W | 28 | -4.2 ft | 1 | | 26S41W | 26 | 93.2 ft | 9 | | 26S43W | 21 | 100.2 ft | 8 | | 25S42W | 11 | 105.6 ft | 9 | | 26S39W | 4 | 185.1 ft | 11 | | 22S39W | 3 | -5.3 ft | 1 | | 26S40W | 3 | 136.6 ft | 4 | | 22S40W | 2 | 14.8 ft | 4 | | 25S43W | 2 | 102.4 ft | 12 | | 21S41W | 0 | — | 4 | | 21S42W | 0 | — | 4 | | 21S43W | 0 | — | 1 | | 22S41W | 0 | — | 4 | | 22S42W | 0 | — | 3 | | 23S39W | 0 | — | 4 | | 23S40W | 0 | — | 12 | | 23S41W | 0 | — | 13 | | 23S42W | 0 | — | 13 | | 23S43W | 0 | — | 10 | | 24S39W | 0 | — | 18 | | 24S40W | 0 | — | 35 | | 24S41W | 0 | — | 21 | | 24S42W | 0 | — | 8 | | 24S43W | 0 | — | 12 | | 25S39W | 0 | — | 10 | | 25S40W | 0 | — | 6 | | 25S41W | 0 | — | 5 | | 22S43W | 0 | — | 3 | ### Who has drilled in Hamilton County *Drillers of record across the county, busiest first.
