The 3D Underground Map
DrillerDB Underground is very different from a conventional map, which presents the Earth's surface as a flat 2D view from directly above. Instead, it offers a striking oblique 3D view where the surface of the earth has been sliced open like a layer cake. Rising above the horizon is standard aerial imagery draped over USGS 3DEP elevation data, but the real star of this map lies directly underneath: a volumetric 3D cross-section revealing the actual geological strata layered beneath the surface. Turning 13 Million Well Logs into 3D Geology This stunning subterranean visualization relies on broad regional interpolation models, DrillerDB has standardized 13 million historical well logs from state and county records across North America. Using these drillers' handwritten notes - scanned directly off decades of paper reports - DrillerDB has managed to map the data to standard USGS lithologic classifications. The resulting Underground Viewer renders these records as color-code...
