Big Mac, I believe you'll want to check with the farm service agency for the county you want to purchase land in. They should have a qualified employee that will visit your property and provide great advice on pond locations, cost shares etc.
Stop by the fsa office and they can provide a map showing rock and other soil types for their county. I found out after I purchased a farm that the ground had to much rock to build a good pond, sold that place and did a little more homework before purchasing the next farm. I own 130 acres east of St.Joe about 40 miles, the contractor that built my pond I highly recommend, let me know if you would like his info.
