Why are the well spots clustered on my map?

The WellDatabase map provides quick access and visualization of millions of wells across the United States and Canada. 

As you zoom in or apply filters, clusters automatically break into smaller groups until individual well spots become visible. Individual well spots appear when fewer than 50,000 wells remain on the map. 

Cluster size and color indicate relative well density across the map.

State-Level Clusters

When viewing large geographic areas, wells are grouped into state-level clusters. Clicking a cluster displays the state name and total well count for that area.

County-Level Clusters

Zooming further into the map breaks state clusters into county-level groupings. County clusters display the county name and the number of wells within that area.

Individual Well Spots

Once fewer than 50,000 wells remain on the map, individual well spots become visible.

Clicking on a well spot opens additional information, including:
• Well Name
• API Number
• Link to Well Details
