Surfer requires XY coordinates for point locations and does not support township, range, and section directly. However, you may be able to us latitude and longitude (decimal degrees) for the Y and X with negative coordinates in the southern (Y) and western (X) hemisphere.
The Kansas Geological Survey is one source for lat/long coordinates on the web. Other states may have this information available from their oil and gas commissions or other government bureaus.Well locations may also be available from some commercial companies in AutoCAD DXF format that can be imported into Surfer. Some township and range map vendors include: Surfer can import township and range grids in one of the following formats:
- Vector formats with map coordinates:
- Golden Software GSB, PLT, & BLN, Atlas BNA, USGS DLG, LGO, LGS, and SDTS DDF, AutoCAD DXF, ESRI SHP, MapInfo MIF.
- Bitmap formats that can be calibrated with map coordinates:
- Bitmap
BMP, Tagged Image TIF, Targa TGA, Paintbrush PCX, Compuserve GIF, Word
Perfect Bitmap WPG, Multipage PCX DCX, Encapsulated PostScript bitmap
EPS, JPEG JPG, Macintosh bitmap PICT, Portable Network Graphic PNG.
- Vector/bitmap formats without map coordinates:
- Windows Metafile WMF, Windows Clipboard CLP, Windows Bitmap
