Our GIS Catalog is stacked!


US Land Grid, Inc. (http://www.uslandgrid.com) has just made available for instant download our 2,700 GIS data product. Ready for instant download is the Texas and PLSS Land Grid, over 300 Tax Parcels, and countless counties of PDF maps. No more waiting for your different datasets, get one of the 2,700 GIS datasets or PDF maps that you need instantly and without any hassle.
Our land grid (http://www.uslandgrid.com/land.html) data has been ready for a few months now. Apart from offering multple datums at no charge, our data comes with the lots, the quarters and the surveys. We don’t separate layers that belong to the land grid, we give you everything. Without a doubt a largest live, ready to download, GIS dataset with over 1,100 products, our land grid data and texas survey data is the largest online GIS catalog for instant download.
Matching the vastness of land with tax parcels (sometimes referred to as surface parcels, parcels, or surface ownership) completes the picture between land allotment and land ownership. Tax parcels (http://www.uslandgrid.com/parcels.html) become the meat in the sandwich between the land grid and surface leases. With over 300 counties of tax parcels ready for download online, our tax parcel dataset is largely focused on oil and gas plays – and from that perspective is very complete.
A new introduction, US Land Grid PDF Maps (http://www.uslandgrid.com/pdfmaps.html) provide 42 inch x 42+ inch maps that are beautifully designed and perfect for printing on plotters. Large scale and high detail, these maps are perfect for those of us that don’t have or use mapping software, or if we just want to print a quick map that can be marked up for presentation purposes. Oklahoma PDF Land Grid Maps are now complete. Texas is under construction. Watch this space, as we complete other states.
Our oil and gas data data is taking some time. We are working towards proving another excellent dataset that is tied to an industry leading data model and povides the consistency and accuracy in data you expect from US Land Grid. We hope to have our oil and gas GIS data release in early 2013.
In total, this means we now have over 2,700 products ready for instant download now available at US Land Grid. This is a huge number! As we continue to grow we expect this number to reach 5,000+ product ready for immediately delivery to your mapping program or PDF viewer. As we grow are datasets and offerings, we will also be growing our formats and delivery methods. If there is a GIS dataset that you would like to see, please let us know and we will do our best to make it work for you and US Land Grid.
From a GIS and mapping perspective, we hope you enjoy the intant delivery and service that we provide at US Land Grid – your new online source for Oil and Gas Data! We never close, and we never disappoint! Our industry leading guarantee makes any customer happy every single time. Please stop by and say hello.

GIS data based on an Oil & Gas Data model

Creating GIS data based on a standard data model across the spectrum of data offerings is a challenging job. Over the last few months we, at US Land Grid, have been working hard to produce a standard data model for our GIS datasets. This means that our landgrid, our Texas Survey data, our tax parcels or surface ownership data, and our Oil and Gas wells all inherently belong to that standard data model. This is going to make it easier for you, the GIS consumer, to use and relate our data within just your software platform, or multiple GIS / mapping platforms. 


Providing useful GIS data that is easy to use and manipulate - without having to rework the data - is important to us at US Land Grid. The data we provide has been built by Oil and Gas professionals who understand the data models and needs of organizations that want accurate on-demand data.
We also believe that land grid is just that - land grid. We provide the full story of the land. This includes sections, townships, quarters, surveys, lots, abstracts, blocks, surveys and sub-surveys. In Texas, you get the comprehensive Texas land survey. In the PLSS states, you get the comprehensive public and blm land survey. We don't leave any GIS data out - especially when you look at our Texas Survey our our section township range data.
The same goes for our Tax Parcels and Surface Ownership data. It's based on the same data model allowing for easy integration and relational abilities. Currrently, we have 300+ county tax parcels, focused on Oil and Gas producing areas. One last point... we get our Tax Parcel data directly from each county assessor helps us rest easy that you will enjoy the quality and updates provided with our Surface OWnership GIS Data.
Our Oil and Gas wells are taking some time as we confirm to the standards of our multiple data GIS data model. Each state provides US Land Grid the well data, permit data and production data in different formats and different data models. This makes it challenging for us, but easpecially for GIS professionals who are trying to make the data work within organizations. Our Oil and Gas wells will be ready for release before year end, but they will be complete with consistency across our other datasets, with a full menu of attributes from completion dates to directionals. We excited to bring this special GIS dataset to you, and we think it will be enjoyed by oil and gas GIS professionals US wide.
It's hard not to focus on our data... I think one of the things that makes US Land Grid different from the others is price, and the fact that the data is delivered immediately. If you need to speak to someone you can, but you don't need to. You can buy the GIS data (which is affordable) and download it within seconds. For the oil and gas community, it's the first services focused on them that provides anything similar to this.
The story doesn't end there. Within the next twelve months you will see new offerings, both paid and complimentary, coming from US Land Grid.
The focus will remain - complete - easy to use - updated - GIS data.
