A handy map from the Ohio Department of Natural Resources that shows where Utica Shale drilling is happening in the state. It has different colored dots to denote where permits have been issued, where wells have been drilled, and where wells have been drilled and are now producing. Running along the right bottom corner is a tally (as of 9/6/14) for how many permits have been issued by driller, which now totals nearly 1,500 permits.
