This coverage was converted to digital format from a recompilation of the original soil survey onto a USGS quadrangle base enlarged to a scale of 1:15840 from the digital line graph files of the quadrangles. The original soil survey was published in February of 1980. Recompilation was accomplished by soil scientists from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Division of Soil and Water Conservation. The individual quadrangle maps were scanned by a commercial data conversion firm at a density of 500 dots per inch and then converted to ARC Grid format. The GRID files for each quadrangle were then converted to ARC/INFO coverages and edited through various software routines and manual heads-up digitizing. Quadrangle coverages were converted to state plane coordinates, edgematched and then joined into a final county coverage. Because the quadrangle base is in NAD27 all work was done in NAD 27.

Original coverage data was converted from the .e00 file to a more standard ESRI shapefile(s) in November 2014.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesReal Estate & Land ManagementReal Estate and Lands Management2045 Morse Rd, Bldg I-2Columbus, OH, 43229Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov

Download .zipMaps and data associated with oil-and-gas wells represent one of the largest datasets at the Ohio Department of Natural Resources. This GIS data layer contains all the locatable oil-and-gas wells in Ohio. The feature is derived from coordinates obtained from the Division of Oil and Gas Resources Management (DOGRM) oil and gas well database – Risk Based Data Management System (RBDMS). The RBDMS database has a long history and is a comprehensive collection of well data from historic pre-1980 paper well records (digitized by the Division of Geological Survey (DGS)) to post-1980 DOGRM database solutions.Since 1860, it is estimated that more than 267,000 oil-and-gas wells have been drilled in Ohio. The compressed file also includes a feature used to connect the surface location to the bottom location of a well that has been drilled directionally or horizontally. This feature is NOT the actual wellbore path, it is simply a graphical representation indicating the relationship between the two well points.Contact Information:GIS Support, ODNR GIS ServicesOhio Department of Natural ResourcesDivision of Oil & Gas ResourcesOil and Gas Resources Management2045 Morse Road Bldg F-2Columbus, OH, 43229-6693Telephone: 614-265-6462Email: gis.support@dnr.ohio.gov
