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. We checked: for Zavala County, this bundle holds 160 shapefile parts, and the well (24), survey (32), pipeline (8) and base map (96) bundles hold those same 160 between them, matching …

What we add

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.
Files are packaged county by county under RRC's …
