Idaho Boring Logs & Geotechnical Data
302 public boring logs in Idaho; 182 with digitized SPT, soil or CPT data; 120 scanned log PDFs. Sources include Montana DOT (MDT), Oregon DOT (ODOT), plus public reports found by web crawl. Free to search on the map, download or query by API.

What's in a boring log from Idaho
The 182 digitized borings carry the data engineers actually use: SPT blow counts (N-values) by depth, soil and rock descriptions, groundwater observations and, where the source ran cone penetration tests, CPT tip resistance and sleeve friction. A further 120 logs are scanned PDF reports — the original agency drawings — which you can open and download from the map. Holes are typically about 14 ft (4 m) deep; one in twenty goes past 52 ft (16 m). Not sure what a boring log looks like? See annotated example boring logs.
How to get this data
- Map — pan to a site, click a boring, and view the log, the original PDF, or an ML soil-profile prediction. No account needed.
- Downloads — every boring exports as PDF, DIGGS XML or AGS4; draw a polygon on the map for a multi-boring export or a site report.
- API — query borings by coordinates or bounding box, pull SPT/CPT/lab records, and generate site reports programmatically.
- Contribute — have Idaho boring logs that are not here yet? We take PDFs, DIGGS, AGS and spreadsheets.
This data was collected from public agencies and is republished as-is. It is a planning tool, not a substitute for a site investigation; see the terms and disclaimer. Counts refreshed 2 September 2026.
