Coal Mines
This layer shows the location and production of coal mines within the United States
Ethanol Plants
This feature class/shapefile represents Ethanol Plants. An Ethanol Plant is a facility that uses various biomass source to produce ethanol for use as a fuel.
Army Corps Leveed Areas
This layer displays United States Army Core of Engineers surveyed Leveed Areas. The USACE defines a Levee Areas as the area of a floodplain from which flood water is excluded by the levee system. For more information about USACE data, visit the National Levee Database.
Crude Oil Pipelines
This layer represents crude oil pipelines throughout the U.S. and part of Canada.
Oil and Natural Gas Well Density
This layer was created using point data of Oil and Natural Gas wells in the United States. An Oil and Natural Gas Well is a hole drilled in the earth for the purpose of finding or producing crude oil or natural gas; or producing services related to the production of crude or natural gas. Density…
Oil and Natural Gas Fields
The layer represents Oil and Natural Gas Fields. Generally, Oil and Natural Gas “Fields” are defined as “a low in the Earth’s crust of tectonic origin in which sediments have accumulated.” This definition was originally defined by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). Within the larger area of the basins this feature class also contains…
Natural Gas Pipelines
The U.S. natural gas pipeline network is a highly integrated network that moves natural gas throughout the continental United States. The pipeline network has about 3 million miles of mainline and other pipelines that link natural gas production areas and storage facilities with consumers. In 2017, this natural gas transportation network delivered about 25 trillion…
Coal Fields
This data set shows the coal fields of Alaska and the conterminous United States. Most of the material for the conterminous United States was collected from James Trumbull’s “Coal Fields of the United States, Conterminous United States” map (sheet 1, 1960). The Gulf Coast region was updated using generalized, coal-bearing geology obtained from State geologic…
Electric Bulk Power Transmission Lines
This layer represents electric power transmission lines. Transmission Lines are the system of structures, wires, insulators and associated hardware that carry electric energy from one point to another in an electric power system. Lines are operated at relatively high voltages varying from 69 kV up to 765 kV, and are capable of transmitting large quantities…
Wind Turbine Density
This layer was created using point data of Wind Turbine locations within the U.S. from USGS. Density was calculated using a circular neighborhood of 1 mile and each cell is 1 square mile in area.
