Live natural-gas pipelines (EIA) · long-haul fiber corridors & hubs · West/Central TX study area
Gas: live from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) pipeline service, pulled for the current view as you pan/zoom. The map auto-detects the dataset's exact category values, then queries them. The public set holds operating transmission lines only — idled/retired lines aren't reported.
Fiber: exact carrier routes are proprietary. These corridors trace the interstate & railroad rights-of-way that long-haul fiber parallels (InterTubes, SIGCOMM 2015); notes verified vs. 2025-26 carrier/NTIA sources. Representative, not survey-grade.
Roads: tile overlay (Esri World Transportation) showing every road incl. local streets; switch the basemap to Streets for the full OpenStreetMap network. Counties: live Texas county boundaries from U.S. Census TIGER (254). Names appear at closer zoom.
