Data Layer Description

Location

Texas    

Description

This data layer represents wind energy structures in Texas as of March 2012. This data layer was created for the Terrain and Obstacles Data (TOD) Team within the FAA. As a part of this layer the wind turbines (windmills) were exported and displayed as a separate shapefile (see Sample Map below) to show where wind energy sources were located. The point data was digitized by the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD).

How to get the data layer

Contact the TPWD GIS Lab Manager, Kim Ludeke.
