Locations of oil and gas wells in 11 western states. Data was obtained from the National Oil and Gas Assessment.
This data set depicts federal lands having restrictions on access or activities -- that is, lands mangaed by the National Park Service, Defense Department, or Energy Department -- in western North America. The data set was created by reformatting and merging state- and province-based ownership data layers originally acquired from diverse sources (including state GAP programs, USBLM state offices and other sources). For each original dataset 3 additional fields, "Pub_Pvt", "CA_OWN", and "SOURCE" were added and populated based on the specific ownership information contained in the source data. The original coverages were then merged based on the "CA_OWN" field. Finally, NPS, DOD, and DOE lands were selected out of...
This data was produced to examine the extent and location of human induced fires throughout the western United States. The National Fire Occurrence Database (1986-1996) and additional government agency fire occurrence databases were queried for human induced fires between 1986 and 2001.

Data represents an estimate of oil and natural gas pipeline densities in the intermountain west based on data collected depicting pipeline locations in the study area. These data represent (for the most part) only larger volume, long distance pipelines and not the shorter, lower volume (so-called 'flowlines') associated with specific fluid energy producing sites. HOWEVER, THESE DATA ONLY REPRESENT THAT PORTION OF ACTUAL ON-THE-GROUND AND BURIED PIPELINES THAT HAVE BEEN MAPPED and that we were able to acquire durng th course of our study. THEREFORE, THIS DATASET IS KNOWN TO BE INCOMPLETE. The actual pipline locations are not shown here. Rather this is a grid representing pipeline density in Km/Km^2. DUE TO THE SENSITVE...
