How do I determine latitude/longitude coordinates of a
location?
Navigate to the location of interest. You cannot obtain latitude/longitude
coordinates unless you are zoomed in to the point where the street names are
visible on the map. Once the location of interest has been found, click
the button. Then, single-click the map
on the location you're interested in. The frame to the right of the map
will show the coordinates of that point in degrees|minutes|seconds, as well as
the surface elevation. A point is also placed on the map that shows the
coordinates in decimal degrees.
Tip - The coordinates are more accurate the closer you are zoomed in to the location you're interested in. The system will not provide coordinates unless you are zoomed in to the point where the street names are displayed on the map. To get the most accurate coordinates possible, it is advised that you turn on the aerial photography and visually verify your well location.
Tip - When entering longitude in decimal degrees on the map page; a negative (-) sign will need to be used. Example:
How do I register a well or apply for an operating permit?
You initiate the registration process by clicking the button. The frame to
the right of the map will guide you through the process of registering the
well.
Before registration information can be entered, you must either already know
the latitude/longitude coordinates of the well location, or you must navigate
to the location.
