Answer:

A geologic map would be most appropriate because it can represent various layers of Earth’s surface from a side view or cross section. Such a map would be helpful in drilling a water well because it would show the different layers of rock and their depths, and would reveal where groundwater was and how deep they would need to drill to reach it.
