Natural Gas Pipelines & Sawmills — Loa target states

Pipelines: U.S. EIA, Natural Gas Interstate and Intrastate Pipelines (ArcGIS Online, layer updated Dec 2025), accessed 2026-09-22. Clipped to state boundary. Approximate locations; not for siting or excavation.
Sawmills: Loa sawmill model, rebuilt 2026-09-24 16:35.
Sawmills: Mississippi from the MFC directory and Loa model; Texas from the Texas A&M Forest Service directory; other states from EPA FRS (NAICS 321113).

Dot area = Nyx units = mill residue (green t/yr) ÷ 25,000 t per unit. Hover a dot for name, Nyx units, state rank and capital access.
Mill rows come from Loa_Sawmill_Model.xlsx and refresh every time the model is merged. State rank = the model's opportunity-score rank among Mississippi mills (66 ranked); unranked mills are not yet scored. Capacity is the model's figure and basis; a permit figure is a ceiling, not production. Location is the MFC directory point where the mill matches one, otherwise the town centre (the popup says which). Listed mills with a capacity but no model residue are sized with the model's own median residue per MMBF and say so in the popup. "Nearest line" is straight-line distance to EIA generalized pipeline geometry, ± a few miles.

Pipeline type

Interstate transmission — top operators
Intrastate transmission — top operators
Mileage = mapped miles from EIA generalized geometry (parallel loops counted separately); not PHMSA-reported mileage.
Local distribution mains are not in any public dataset (PHMSA NPMS and MARIS publish transmission only), so only transmission lines are shown.
MFC points: Mississippi Forestry Commission, 2025 MS Forest Products Companies (Forest Industry Directory feature service, edited 2025-07-08). The directory carries no open/closed status. Other states: EPA Facility Registry Service sites with sawmill NAICS 321113 (state files dated 2026-09-04); the registry keeps permitted sites that may have closed and misses small unpermitted mills — in Mississippi it matched 37 of the 60 directory mills. Texas: Texas A&M Forest Service Directory of Forest Products Industries (feature service edited 2026-09-02), active sawmills only.
Receipt/delivery points and compressor stations: HIFLD/EIA Natural Gas Receipt Delivery Points (source 2015, validated 2016-2017) and Compressor Stations (2020), via ArcGIS Online mirror. Receipt = point where gas enters the pipeline; existing points show where third-party gas is already accepted.
