Footage is each well's reported total bore depth from Utah's well log database. Outliers and wells with non-2026 activity dates are excluded. Race plays through the last update (—) and freezes — 2026 isn't over yet. The "All others" line at the bottom aggregates companies that fall outside the top 30.

Hatched fill = fewer than 10 domestic wells in 21-year record. Wells over 8" diameter (typically irrigation / municipal / industrial), wells with no diameter recorded, and 30 records with definite data-entry errors are all excluded.

Domestic wells (≤8" finished casing diameter) only. For drilling-cost planning, the area's median is usually the better number than mean — the mean gets pulled up by a few unusually deep wells. Hover any area for full stats including median, range, and sample size. County labels are overlaid as navigation aids only — depth is driven by aquifer geology, which is what defines water rights areas.
