This effort involved the identification and delineation of oil and gas well pad scars in southwestern Wyoming using 4-band NAIP imagery acquired in 2009 and 2012.  Imagery was used in a customized feature extraction program that provided an initial representation of pad scars, which served as the basis for a manual clean-up and final delineation of the pad scars.
