First.  If a name has been changed within a survey and it is not in my database as an alternative name, then I would have to submit a letter to either the RRC or the GLO getting clarification.

 

Second.  I stopped where I did for most of the land down south is part of the National Forest and Grasslands of TX (USFS) and right now there is not a lot going on down there.  At the southern most portion of the county there are some old oil well units that are still active such as the Kirkland unit in the Nathanial Hyden A-22, but other than that it is pretty quiet.  You have to remember, there is a considerable amount of endangered species of animals withing USFS lands such as the red cockaded woodpecker.  For any company to want to go down in there and start punching holes into the ground would have a lot of paperwork to fill out on these outside influences.  Not to mention all the other rules they would have to jump through on federal regulations as well as the environmental groups that are watching these areas very closely.  Do one oops and they'll be banging their war drums faster than greased lightening.

RRC is the Texas Railroad Commission.  http://www.rrc.state.tx.us

GLO is the Texas General Land Office http://www.glo.texas.gov/

 

The RRC has an interactive online web mapping program.

http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/data/online/gis/index.php#

read the online help section before attempting to navigate through this website.  It has a HUGE amount of information that is linked to it once you figure out how to play with their toy.  This information includes: wells, production data, Producer, activity dates, etc.

The attached is an overview of what I was talking about regarding USFS lands.  This map does not indicate which areas are public vs private.  But you can discern the units in gray with the locations of the forest lands.  One other thing I might add.  Only the southern most portion of the county has natural gas pipelines running through it.  So, if a "Gas Exploration Company" wants to do something say on the SE portion, he would have to run a lot of line back to a sale area and that runs into money and the same problems I mentioned before.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to only be a pessimist, I'm actually neutral.  I am just aware of the environmental laws and the regulations that these companies have to deal with in these situations.  I'm not a whiz bang expert, just knowledgeable.

I made a KMZ of the abstracts to use in Google Earth.  I couldn't get them to label though...  Just right click the area and select properties and the name and abstract # will show up.

Another outstanding map!  Also, when you double click on the abstract name in the left column of Google E under "Places," it takes you to that survey location.  Thank you for posting this map tool!

Mr. Gardner, Awesome map of San Augustine Co. with unit designations. Do you have access to Shelby and northern Sabine Co. unit designation maps?
