How deep did the neighbors have to drill?
Before you make an offer on Idaho land, see what the wells around it actually cost to drill. Enter an address, paste coordinates, or click the map — depth, depth to water and yield, straight from state well logs.

Three numbers that change your offer
Idaho drillers must file a report for every well. Those reports are the closest thing to evidence you can get about groundwater before spending money drilling.
- Total depth
- Drilling is priced per foot, so this is the single biggest driver of cost. A wide spread between nearby wells means a quote could move a lot.
- Depth to water
- Where water settles in a finished well. It sets the pump you need and what it costs to run.
- Reported yield
- Gallons per minute the driller measured. A house needs far less than irrigated pasture — read it against your plans.

Median depths differ enormously across Idaho — from around 100 ft in parts of the Snake River plain to over 300 ft in the panhandle. Every figure is computed from that county's own records.

Common questions
Is it really free?
The lookup is free and stays free. It is also how we find out whether the paid report is worth building, so using it genuinely helps.
Can this tell me whether I can drill a well?
No, and nothing can except drilling. Groundwater changes over a few hundred feet. What nearby records give you is a realistic budget range and better questions for a driller.
Why do some wells look stacked on the map?
Most Idaho well locations were recorded as a quarter-quarter section — a 40-acre block — rather than a surveyed point, so several wells can share a section corner. We label every well with how it was located so you know which distances to trust.
