### Why counties and not towns

Because a Kansas well is not located by a town. It is located by township,
range and section — the survey grid — and the register carries no
town at all. The county is the finest unit this file actually supports, and
inventing a smaller one would mean guessing.

One county dominates the register: Sedgwick, around Wichita,
holds far more records than any other. That is a reporting artefact as much
as a geological one — dense population, dense paperwork.
