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 shape file contains a representation of the Drill Hole Locations Within the Bowman-Dickinson coalfield, Hansen Coal Zone area. This area is part of the National Coal Assessment Rocky Mountain and Northern Great Plains Region, and can be viewed in relation to roads, geology, and other relevant themes of this area. 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 stored and analyzed in formats using a Geographic Information System (GIS).

Process_Step: Process_Description: Stratigraphic data were compiled in a Stratifact relational database. These data were correlated and the coal beds were identified. Stratigraphic data for the coal and rock units in the coal zone were downloaded from Stratifact and run through a custom "parting/split" program to calculate net coal thickness at each data location. This dataset was then linked to all available coal quality samples on the following parameters. The latitude and longitude, surface elevation, and coal top and bottom (thickness) for each coal location was compared to the latitude and longitude, surface elevation, and coal top and bottom (thickness) each stratigraphic location. When a match was found, the two files were given the same identification code. This identification code linked both the stratigraphic and coal quality databases. Coal quality data that could not be match with the corresponding stratigraphic data was only utilized for summary tables and bubble maps. This joined dataset was then imported into ArcView and converted to a shapefile.
