Brian, you got 'em all.

In that area that you indicated, even if there wasn't surface water, I'll bet there is an underground aquifier that would support a good sized well.

Whether or not there is land available and whether or not the soil conditions will support a pond can only be determined by physically being there. But I think the soil would be better near an area that already has bodies of water.
