[Cindy Taylor]

This source has excellent maps of what is where . in terms of development,
pipelines, fracking, injection wells, etc...      Check it out.

https://www.fractracker.org/map/us/
Choose Ohio and then zoom in on our area.  you can also change the
background to view as you wish- such as streets or terrain, etc.

Even well water sites are also included.

Helps to see the larger view of the development, too and what is permitted.
in the whole region.
