This layer displays United States Army Core of Engineers surveyed Embankments. The USACE defines an Embankment as the area of a floodplain from which flood water is excluded by the levee system. For more information about USACE data, visit the … Continued
This layer displays United States Army Core of Engineers surveyed Floodwalls. The USACE defines an Floodwall as a structure erected to protect areas from high river stages. For more information about USACE data, visit the National Levee Database.
This feature class/shapefile represents electric power substations primarily associated with electric power transmission. In this layer, substations are considered facilities and equipment that switch, transform, or regulate electric power at voltages equal to, or greater than, 69 kilovolts. Substations with … Continued
The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) serves as the definitive Landsat-based, 30-meter resolution, land cover database for the Nation. NLCD provides spatial reference and descriptive data for characteristics of the land surface such as thematic class (for example, urban, agriculture, … Continued
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.
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 … Continued
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, … Continued
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 … Continued
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 … Continued
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 … Continued
