Visualizing Vulnerability

Denton is working on an interactive map of its gas wells. This would be good for so many reasons, including helping us to prioritize our monitoring efforts. Here is a map a friend made for me that is rough but indicates drug free zones (schools and parks, mostly) with red buffers 1,000 feet around them and gas wells (the little circle icons with six short lines around them, look like little bugs).
