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 | |---|---|---|---| | 13S42W | 36 | 64.2 ft | 10 | | 14S41W | 36 | 116.9 ft | 15 | | 14S42W | 36 | 130.0 ft | 19 | | 15S38W | 36 | 72.9 ft | 15 | | 15S39W | 36 | 88.2 ft | 15 | | 15S40W | 36 | 106.0 ft | 18 | | 15S41W | 36 | 101.2 ft | 16 | | [14S40W](/township/14s40w.md) | 35 | 70.9 ft | 23 | | 15S42W | 35 | 82.0 ft | 8 | | 14S39W | 32 | 27.9 ft | 10 | | 14S38W | 23 | 43.1 ft | 8 | | 11S42W | 16 | 31.8 ft | 11 | | 12S42W | 12 | 74.5 ft | 4 | | 13S41W | 9 | 79.8 ft | 7 | | 14S43W | 6 | 103.5 ft | 5 | | 13S43W | 6 | 83.6 ft | 2 | | 11S43W | 6 | 38.2 ft | 1 | | 15S43W | 5 | 51.1 ft | 1 | | 13S40W | 4 | -41.8 ft | 22 | | 12S41W | 1 | 31.5 ft | 6 | | 12S43W | 1 | 54.2 ft | 1 | | 11S38W | 0 | — | 10 | | 11S39W | 0 | — | 6 | | 11S40W | 0 | — | 6 | | 11S41W | 0 | — | 11 | | 12S39W | 0 | — | 6 | | 12S40W | 0 | — | 2 | | 12S38W | 0 | — | 4 | ### Who has drilled in Wallace County *Drillers of record across the county, busiest first.
