Know the water before you buy the land
Buying rural property in Montana? The seller's well — or the well you'd have to drill — is a five-figure question. Every well drilled in Montana files a report with the state. We turn those records into a clear report for any address.
What's in the report
- Every recorded well within 2–5 miles of the property — typically 10–40 wells
- Depth, static water level, and tested yield for each, with distance from your parcel
- Links to every original driller's log in the state GWIC database (lithology, casing, notes)
- Who drilled them — the drillers active around this property
- Local cost estimate: nearby median depth × published per-foot rates, math shown
- Printable, shareable with your agent, inspector, or lender; delivered by email in minutes

It reports the wells recorded near that address. If your own well was never registered with the state — common for older wells, and Montana files wells by section rather than by street address — it won't be in there. Not sure? Run the free check above first.

Questions
Is this the same data as the state's GWIC site?
Same source — GWIC is the official record. The state site is built for hydrogeologists; this report finds the wells near your parcel, computes the local numbers, and explains what they mean for a purchase decision. The free lookup shows you a preview first.
Will the report include my own well?
Only if a log for it was filed with the state. GWIC holds what drillers actually submitted, and plenty of older wells were never registered; Montana also files wells by section rather than by street address, so no record is tied to a single lot. What the report always answers is what the water does around a property — how deep neighbours had to go, what they hit, and what drilling there is likely to cost. If you specifically need your own well's log, run the free check above first: it tells you before you pay.
What if my address isn't found?
Rural addresses sometimes don't geocode. Reply to your receipt with coordinates from Google Maps (right-click → copy) and we'll generate the report from those — or refund you, no questions.
Does it tell me my exact well outcome?
No — geology varies. It tells you what every neighbor actually hit: depths, water levels, yields. That's the best available evidence, and exactly what a good driller looks at before quoting.
