Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: map Series_Information: Series_Name: U. S. Geological Survey Professional Paper Issue_Identification: 1625-A Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Denver, CO Publisher: USGS Central Region Energy Resources Team Description: Abstract: This ArcView shapefile contains a representation of the lateral extent of the Ferris 31 study area in the Ferris coalfield, Hanna Basin, Wyoming. This theme was created specifically for the National Coal Resource Assessment in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Plains Region. Purpose: The Nation's coal resources are being assessed by the USGS. This assessment identifies and characterizes the coal beds and coal zones that will provide the bulk of the Nation's coal-derived energy during the next few decades. This assessment is different from previous USGS assessments because digital files and databases are being collected and stored in standardized formats, and being analyzed using a Geographic Information System (GIS).

Process_Step: Process_Description: Each source map was scanned and digitized. The digital line graph (DLG) information was imported into ARC/INFO. Desired lines from the dlg coverage were extracted. Portions of the boundary that were not defined by the maps available were generalized using a buffer 3 miles from the available data points. All of the lines were joined to create one polygon coverage defining the Ferris 31 study limit. The coverage was projected to geographic coordinates and converted to a shapefile in ArcView.
