  • Mapping site

    This site has many useful layers.

    GISsurfer lets you surf a nearly endless amount of GIS data. Click a layer in the GIS server's table of contents and that data appears on the map.


    ive it a good look over. We found a Natural Gas Emergency Storage site about three miles from our home that we never new existed!
    Hmmmmm, might come in handy someday.;)

      its google map....don't see what makes it different than google map that is already out there? The only thing I saw that seemed interesting was the USGS option...

      This link might be a little more helpful about this site:



      There are FAQ's that will help to.

        610Alpha - From what I found the topo has more detailed info on it, the t2 topo option had older, historical data, important to us. The options are different, try as I might in a short amount of time I am unable to get the same results from G-Earth or Maps.
        Makes sense to me that most would be based on google maps and satellite info.
        Wasn't trying to set the world on fire with a completely new anything, just had options including the usgs you mentioned and historical topos that I hadn't seen.
        Sorry didn't mean to get your hopes up.

          Thats ok...How did you find that Natural Gas Emergency Storage near you? Don't get me wrong it is a good resource....I will have to do some experimenting with it so I can make a good size wall map for my AO...cheaper than buying a bunch of USGS maps...

          Thanks for sharing the link!!

            My Wife actually found it, she went to the t2 topo, found a pipeline marked that went to nowhere. I told her to zoom out and it was written in large letters UNDERGROUND GAS STORAGE.
            It borders a friends property, he didn't know anything about it, last evening we took an atv ride and found the well head and part of a manifold. I guess it is stored in ?caverns - old gas wells? there are many big trees and couldn't see any visible signs of Tanks.
            Also found 4 gas wells within 5 miles.
            There are a number of unidentified markers, not sure what they are----yet.
