The Illinois Oil and Gas Well Data Web mapping project enables on-line access to a large database of over 170,000 Illinois oil and gas well records. This database has been in development for many years by the Illinois State Geological Survey. Traditionally, these well records have only been available during regular business hours at the Geological Records Unit in Champaign, Illinois.

Instructions for Accessing Illinois Oil and Gas Resources Data

Map manipulation tools are offered on the left side of the interface. The currently selected tool will be gray, as the "Zoom In" tool is in the screen shot shown below. Data layer visibility and activation control is located on the right side of the interface. The visitor must set desired "Active" layer combinations and then implement "Refresh Map" in order to create a custom map view.
      • Step 1: Enlarge an appropriate area.
        The "Zoom In" tool is the default tool upon launch of the Interactive Mapping Interface.
      • Step 2: Access Data
        To use the "Select Multiple" rectangle tool, first click the "Select" tab in the right hand frame of the interface. Next, set the "Current Selection Layer"
        to the feature type you are interested in. Finally, click the "Select Features" button and draw a rectangle around the features you are interested in.
