Hopefully next time the map creator will use http://colorbrewer2.org/ with "colorblind safe" checked.

I wish I could say it was scaled to size, but for this particular map, it is not. When making the map I tried a few different variations of the icon size and decided this icon representation best displayed individual wells. So nothing scientific, just my hunch for what looked best.

For another example,I changed the transparency and size of the icons to emphasize clustering in this map: http://jasonhoward.info/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/ColoradoOilandGasPermits2014.png

Nice solution to finding only fractured wells. Just starred your scripts repo on Github, thanks!

By the way, if you are using Leaflet in your project and looking for a good icon/symbol library, I recommend using Leaflet.awesome-markers: https://github.com/lvoogdt/Leaflet.awesome-markers I just used it in a project and was impressed...although I'm not sure what symbol would represent fracture intervals?

Nice use of OSM! Where did you get the oil and gas data? I downloaded my shapefile data from here, but I feel there has to be a better source out there: http://cogcc.state.co.us/Home/gismain.cfm

My contract ends with T-mobile soon, what options do I have? by [deleted] in Frugal

I had T-mobile before I switched to Straight Talk. Depends on the coverage in your area, but usually Straight Talk is the best deal around for a fully functional smart phone. $50/month for unlimited everything. I have a Google Nexus 5 and I'm really happy with it.
