Online_Linkage: http://sagemap.wr.usgs.gov/ Description: Abstract: Development of oil and gas wells leads to the destruction and fragmentation of natural habitat. Oil and gas wells also increase noise levels which has been shown to be detrimental to some wildlife species. Therefore, the density of oil and gas wells in the western United States was modeled based on data obtained from the National Oil and Gas Assessment. Purpose: Depict the density of oil and gas wells in the western United States.
