Illinois Oil and Gas Pipeline Network Lines from 1984

Line data represents the locations of oil and gas pipelines and related facilities across Illinois. The dataset was created by ESRI in 1984 for the SCIOPS organization at a map scale of 1:500,000. It includes coding for the type of product carried by each pipeline.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of oil versus gas pipeline lines across Illinois.
• Identify pipeline corridors based on the coded product type for each line feature.
• Perform historical analysis of 1984-era energy infrastructure for environmental impact studies.
• Integrate pipeline line data with other geospatial layers using the 1:500,000 scale for regional planning.

Strengths

• Data provides a complete statewide view of pipeline networks at a consistent 1:500,000 scale.
• Lines are coded with the specific type of product carried, adding analytical value.

Limitations

• Data is from 1984 and does not reflect modern pipeline construction, decommissioning, or changes.
• The 1:500,000 scale is suitable for regional analysis but not for precise, local-level mapping.
