West Wide Energy Corridor Final PEIS Map Data in Keyhole Markup Language Zipped (KMZ) Format

Final PEIS map data including proposed Section 368 energy corridors, in KMZ format, for viewing with Google Earth or ArcGIS Explorer.

The West Wide Energy Corridor Final PEIS KMZ file can be used with free Google Earth, or ESRI ArcGIS Explorer software, both of which allow viewing of proposed corridors and other data selected by the user. You must have one of these software programs (or similar KMZ-compatible software) installed to view the KMZ file. An active Internet connection is required for normal viewing of maps with Google Earth or ArcGIS Explorer software.

PLEASE NOTE: This KMZ file is provided for your convenience. Display problems and other errors may occur when viewing the data in this file. The KMZ file and KMZ viewing software were not used in PEIS-related analyses or decision-making, nor for production of maps for the PEIS. Within the KMZ file, several sets of corridor polygons are provided, showing the corridors with different symbology. In each set, corridors are shown two ways: corridor outlines are shown at ground level, and a shaded version of the same corridors is offset 100 meters above ground level for display reasons. At low viewing angles, the shaded polygons may appear slightly offset from their actual locations; however, the ground-level polygon outlines will be shown accurately, regardless of viewing angle.
