This layer displays United States Army Core of Engineers surveyed Floodwalls. The USACE defines an Floodwall as a structure erected to protect areas from high river stages. For more information about USACE data, visit the National Levee Database.
Army Corps Leveed Areas
This layer displays United States Army Core of Engineers surveyed Leveed Areas. The USACE defines a Levee Areas as the area of a floodplain from which flood water is excluded by the levee system. For more information about USACE data, visit the National Levee Database.
Electric Substations
This feature class/shapefile represents electric power substations primarily associated with electric power transmission. In this layer, substations are considered facilities and equipment that switch, transform, or regulate electric power at voltages equal to, or greater than, 69 kilovolts. Substations with a maximum operating voltage less than 69 kilovolts may be included, depending on the availability of authoritative sources, but coverage of these features should not be considered complete. The Substations feature class/shapefile includes taps, a location where power on a transmission line is tapped by another transmission line.
Coal Mines
This layer shows the location and production of coal mines within the United States
National Land Cover Dataset
The National Land Cover Database (NLCD) serves as the definitive Landsat-based, 30-meter resolution, land cover database for the Nation. NLCD provides spatial reference and descriptive data for characteristics of the land surface such as thematic class (for example, urban, agriculture, and forest), percent impervious surface, and percent tree canopy cover. NLCD supports a wide variety of Federal, State, local, and nongovernmental applications that seek to assess ecosystem status and health, understand the spatial patterns of biodiversity, predict effects of climate change, and develop land management policy. NLCD products are created by the Multi-Resolution Land Characteristics (MRLC) Consortium, a partnership of Federal agencies led by the U.S. Geological Survey.
Locations of Addiction/Substance Abuse Providers
This layer displays the locations of all addiction or substance abuse providers with a CMS National Provider Identifier (NPI). Addiction or substance abuse providers include MDs, DOs, and other credentialed professionals specializing substance abuse treatment, rehabilitation, addiction medicine, or providing methadone. Data are from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) August 2019 National Provider Identifier (NPI) downloadable file.
Oil and Natural Gas Well Density
This layer was created using point data of Oil and Natural Gas wells in the United States. An Oil and Natural Gas Well is a hole drilled in the earth for the purpose of finding or producing crude oil or natural gas; or producing services related to the production of crude or natural gas. Density was calculated using a circular neighborhood of 1 mile and each cell is 1 square mile in area.
Wind Turbine Density
This layer was created using point data of Wind Turbine locations within the U.S. from USGS. Density was calculated using a circular neighborhood of 1 mile and each cell is 1 square mile in area.
Power Plants
This layer shows the location of electricity generating power-plants in the U.S., the total capacity of each plant, and the primary fuel source.
Electric Bulk Power Transmission Lines
This layer represents electric power transmission lines. Transmission Lines are the system of structures, wires, insulators and associated hardware that carry electric energy from one point to another in an electric power system. Lines are operated at relatively high voltages varying from 69 kV up to 765 kV, and are capable of transmitting large quantities of electricity over long distances. Underground transmission lines are included where sources were available.
