Southeast Washington
Water doesn't have to be that deep in the mountains. I have a place on top of a ridge in the mountains at 5100 feet. It is about 5 miles out before you get higher. My well is 35 feet deep with the water table basically at the surface in the spring and about 18 feet down at the end of a dry summer. Neighbor on one side is 40 feet and the other side is 90 feet.

In the valley near my town the typical well is 550 feet. The top of the hill on one side of the valley is 700 feet up and a house put on the top edge of that has 40 gpm at 230 feet so still far up off the valley floor.
