All Layers by County
Every map layer for a county in one package.
What this is:
The wells, surveys, pipelines and base map layers for a county bundled together — the whole GIS picture in one download. It is exactly the other four county layer sets in one zip, not a different or richer product.
How it is laid out:
The Railroad Commission publishes this as ArcView shapefile. ArcView shapefile — several files that must be kept together. We mirror the Commission's file exactly as they published it, byte for byte. We have not decoded this one into a table yet, so reading it needs the right tooling.
What we add:
Take everything RRC maps for a county in a single request instead of four — or skip it and take just the layer you need.
- Mirrored so the file is here when the Commission's own link is not.
- Documented — what it is, where it came from, and when we last fetched it.
Worth knowing before use:
Every RRC map layer is published in the Geographic coordinate system in decimal degrees on the NAD27 datum — EPSG:4267. That is not what web mapping expects. Overlaying it on anything modern without reprojecting to WGS 84 puts Texas wells roughly 100 metres from where they belong.
