New Mexico Subsurface Data Map View: Core & Cuttings Database

Visit Application

Description

Map View: Core & Cuttings - This interactive geological mapping application from the New Mexico Bureau of Geology and Mineral Resources provides a comprehensive view of subsurface drilling data across New Mexico and surrounding areas. The map displays thousands of well locations using color-coded symbols, with red circles representing core samples and blue triangles indicating cuttings samples, allowing users to visualize the distribution of geological subsurface data points throughout the region. Users can zoom into specific areas of interest, click on individual wells to access detailed information and links to additional data, and toggle different layers on and off to customize their view using the layers icon. The application serves as a valuable resource for geologists, researchers, and industry professionals seeking to understand subsurface geology patterns, with particularly dense concentrations of data points visible in major sedimentary basins like the Permian Basin in southeastern New Mexico, making it an essential tool for geological research, resource exploration, and educational purposes.
