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 | |---|---|---|---| | 31S40W | 36 | 82.6 ft | 18 | | [32S39W](/township/32s39w.md) | 36 | 110.8 ft | 20 | | 32S40W | 36 | 63.7 ft | 13 | | 33S40W | 36 | 22.2 ft | 13 | | 33S41W | 36 | 36.0 ft | 15 | | 33S42W | 36 | 42.4 ft | 14 | | [34S40W](/township/34s40w.md) | 36 | -5.3 ft | 21 | | 34S41W | 36 | -9.3 ft | 15 | | 34S42W | 36 | 1.8 ft | 9 | | 33S43W | 33 | 44.4 ft | 15 | | [34S43W](/township/34s43w.md) | 26 | 31.0 ft | 22 | | [32S41W](/township/32s41w.md) | 25 | 38.6 ft | 20 | | 35S43W | 22 | 53.6 ft | 15 | | [35S42W](/township/35s42w.md) | 21 | 54.0 ft | 20 | | 35S41W | 20 | 15.9 ft | 10 | | 35S39W | 18 | 98.0 ft | 13 | | 35S40W | 18 | 29.4 ft | 11 | | 32S43W | 16 | 52.3 ft | 12 | | 32S42W | 14 | 61.8 ft | 13 | | 31S41W | 3 | 36.7 ft | 9 | | 31S43W | 2 | 27.3 ft | 11 | | 31S42W | 0 | — | 6 | ### Who has drilled in Morton County *Drillers of record across the county, busiest first.
