##### November 25, 2025: This site is suffering severe maintenance neglect and will disappear soon. ----- ## NEW: A contributor offers a new data source , for those who can utilize it... Skip if you don't know GIS or file copy-paste isn't your bag. But... *This is an **easy way to see the line routes ON TOP of your own county** CAD map!* Anonymous Contributor 0002 writes: From the LCRA's map <https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ed2f71989d64427d8be2c19c065e1269>, the data for the current proposed routes can be pulled in JSON format with GPS data points by this query <https://services1.arcgis.com/UN4R3TyArTjDlnhb/arcgis/rest/services/Permian_CCN_External_Open_House/FeatureServer/12/query?f=json&cacheHint=true&maxRecordCountFactor=4&resultOffset=0&resultRecordCount=8000&where=1%3D1&orderByFields=OBJECTID%20ASC&outFields=OBJECTID%2Clink_id&outSR=4326&spatialRel=esriSpatialRelIntersects>. I have attached the data converted into a KML file that can be uploaded into the various county GIS to get other mapping features available in those. (Ed: This is a web page that contains the content, not a downloadable version of the file itself: [[lcra_data_styling.kml]]) Bell <https://gis.bisclient.com/bellcad/> Burnet <https://gis.bisclient.com/burnetcad/index.html> Williamson <https://gisweb.wcad.org/parcelmap/> Lampasas <https://gis.bisclient.com/lampasascad/> San Saba <https://www.sansabacad.org/home/map> Mason <https://gis.bisclient.com/masoncad/> McCulloch <https://maps.pandai.com/McCullochCAD/> Concho <https://gis.bisclient.com/conchocad/> Menard <https://menardcad.org/home/map> Tom Green <https://gis.bisclient.com/tomgreencad/> Schleicher <https://gis.bisclient.com/schleichercad/> So... you can pull up your county of interest from that list, then dig around in the menus to find a way to "Add data ...". Do it from a *File*, not a URL. The file you want is the meat of this page: [[lcra_data_styling.kml]] -- you'll have to copy the data part (not the web page itself) and paste it into a file on your computer, then upload *that* to the county BIS. You will then have the line overlaid on your county land parcels, and can harvest contact and other info. ---- ==Having ignored the age-old engineering maxim to "**generate at the load**", influenced $ and under-informed entities now want to stomp on a bunch of little people.== Please read [[Two Points From an Engineer]]. ![[765kv Transmission Line Example Photo.jpeg]] ### New to this? - Yes, it's bad. - The LCRA [Interactive Map](https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/ed2f71989d64427d8be2c19c065e1269) for proposed routes is online. - Tip: Zoom near your area of interest, then turn on the "6 in Imagery" in the Map Layers options to see the aerial view. - [[On Routing - it is not final until PUC says so.
