These GIS layers were created by combining numerous ARC/INFO coverages created for the Colorado Plateau coal assessment. The coal field outlines are approximate boundaries based on criteria provided below under Data Quality Information, Process Steps. These coal field outlines may not overlap exactly with other published coal field boundaries or with criteria used in the geochemistry data. We used existing polygons taken from numerous digital geologic maps, as described in Process Steps, but did not use overburden cutoffs. Purpose: The Nation's coal resources are being reassessed by the USGS. A fundamental component of this assessment work is to compile digital geologic and geographic data into a Geographic Information System (GIS). Use of this GIS allowed for the spatial integration of data layers. This resulted in the ability to display, analyze, and query data to answer complex geo-spatial questions concerning coal resource occurrence.

This coverage is not a final product for that activity; rather, it was captured to define surface geology of hydrostratigraphic units, and it will be used by WRD as input to three-dimensional (3-D) subsurface hydrogeologic and flow models. This coverage was created by scanning mylar sheets that contain traced hydrostratigraphic unit boundaries from paper U.S. Geological Survey surface geologic maps at 1:100,000 in the Nephi, Manti, Price, and Huntington 30' x 60' quadrangles (Witkind and Weiss, 1991; Witkind and others, 1987; Weiss and others, 1990; and Witkind, 1988 respectively) and at 1:250,000 in the Salina 1 x 2-deg quadrangle (Williams and Hackman, 1971). The original projection of the coverage is Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) zone 12, meters, using the Clarke 1866 spheroid (NAD 27).

T, this CD-ROM). These coverages were captured at a scale of 1:125,000. The polygon coverage that represents the outcrop and area underlain by of the Calico sequence boundary defines the base of the coal-bearing part of the Straight Cliffs Formation. The polygon coverage that represents the outcrop of the Drip Tank Member of the Straight Cliffs Formation is included to show the extent of subsurface coal. 'subsurf' was assigned to the item (field) CROP of all polygons within the Drip Tank Member to show that coal-bearing rocks occur in the subsurface. 'outcrop' was assigned to the item CROP for all polygons within the Straight Cliffs Formation that extend beyond the Drip Tank Member to show where the coal-bearing rocks are exposed at the Earth's surface. The polygon coverage that outlines the Kaiparowits Plateau delineates the base of the Dakota Formation which is the base of Upper Cretaceous rocks. The Dakota Formation contains minor coal beds. A Utah State geology coverage (captured at 1:500,000) was used to extend these formation contacts westward beyond 112 degrees of longitude, and to define the Alton, Kolob, Harmony, Salina Canyon, Wales and Henry Mountains coal fields. Doelling and Graham, 1972, was used as reference for defining coal fields in southwestern Utah. The Paunsaugunt fault, which defines the western boundary of the Kaiparowits Plateau, was extended beyond 112 degrees of longitude by using fault lines from the King and Beikman USA geology map coverage (1:2,500,000; Schruben and others, 1994). Other fault lines from the King and Beikman coverage were used to define the extent of the Alton and Kolob Fields. To define the Uinta deep coal field, the base of T1 was used from a Utah State geology coverage (1:500,000), except where we had more detailed digital data for the northern Wasatch Plateau, Utah. The more detailed data was captured by the Water Resources Division (WRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey at 1:100,000 from the geologic map of the Nephi 30' x 60' quadrangle (Witkind and Weiss, 1991; see Data_Set_Credit: discussion above). Two lines were added to close the polygon defining coal in the subsurface along the northern and western boundaries of the Uinta deep coal field, and minor lines were added to close other small gaps in the polygon. In the Wasatch Plateau, Utah, several coverages were combined to capture geologic units that define coal-bearing formations that are exposed or occur in the subsurface. These include the Utah State geology coverage (1:500,000), the WRD coverage (1:100,000 and 1:250,000; see Data_Set_Credit: discussion above), and a coverage created for the assessment of coal deposits in the Blackhawk Formation, southern Wasatch Plateau, captured at 1:62,500 from Spieker, 1931. Included also are the Star Point and Ferron sandstones, which are attributed as 'nocoal' areas in the item CROP. To extend the subsurface Blackhawk Formation north and east into the northern Wasatch Plateau and Book Cliffs, Utah, we again utilized the coverage created by the Water Resources Division (WRD) of the U.S. Geological Survey. In the Sego coal field, we used the Utah State geology coverage (1:500,000) to define the extent of coal in the Blackhawk Formation as being combined surface and subsurface coal. In the San Juan Basin, New Mexico and Colorado, a coverage was captured at 1:380,160 by digitizing the geologic map in Fassett and Hinds, 1971. This coverage was converted to a shapefile and modified in ArcView to update the base of the Fruitland Formation, top of the Pictured Cliffs Sandstone contact for the assessment of coal in the Fruitland Formation. The modifications are based on 1:24,000-scale geologic maps (O'Sullivan and others, 1986; Schneider and others, 1979; and Strobell and others, 1985) and 1998 reconnaissance field mapping by Fassett, J.E., USGS. Other coal fields in New Mexico were defined using coal-bearing formations selected from the digital geologic map of New Mexico (Green and Jones, 1997). Polygons defining intrusions were obtained from Green and Jones, 1997. The coal fields were further delineated by referencing Hoffman, 1996 and Shomaker and others, 1971. Coal geology in the Piceance Basin and the Yampa coal field of the Greater Green River basin was taken from the digital geologic map of Colorado (1:500,000; Green, 1992) and modified to include more detailed data from published 1:24,000-scale maps (Barnum and Garrigues, 1980; Barnum and Hail, 1996; Cullins, 1968, 1969, 1971; Garrigues and Barnum, 1980; Hail, 1974; Hail and Barnum, 1993). The southern Piceance Basin priority assessment area has a northern extent that is defined at 39 deg 42' 30" latitude. Coal geology for the Nucla-Naturita coal field was taken from the digital geologic map of Colorado (1:500,000; Green, 1992) by selecting the Cretaceous Dakota Sandstone. The outline of the Tongue Mesa coal field is based on Landis, 1959. The Black Mesa coal field was created from a combination of the 1:1,000,000-scale Arizona geologic map and a CANVAS graphic that was acquired from the Northern Arizona University (NAU). The Arizona geologic map coverage is a digital version of the Arizona Geological Survey Map 26 that was created by the BLM and the Arizona Geologic Survey. This Digital Geologic Map of Arizona is available at . The CANVAS graphic was prepared at NAU by scanning sheets 1-6 of Plate 1, Cooley and others, 1969. The Arizona geologic map coverage was also used to define the Pinedale coal field. Coal-bearing formations were attributed as summarized in Kirschbaum and Biewick (chap. B, this CD-ROM). A region feature, 'cf', was created to consolidate polygons that make up each coal field. The REGIONDISSOLVE command was used to dissolve on the polygon attribute item 'cf' (coal field). This region feature efficiently defines the noncontiguous and nested areas of coal fields (shapefile = cp_cfr.shp). The northern Wasatch Plateau and the Bisti Coal Availability and Recoverability study areas were added using outlines of the 7.5' quadrangles that make up these two study areas. Metadata for the 7.5'-quadrangles coverages can be found in most of the assessment area metadata folders with filenames that contain the assessment area prefix and '24qd.met'. Topology was recreated using the Arc/Info BUILD or CLEAN commands as needed. When it was necessary to CLEAN a coverage, the output coverage was always compared to the input coverage to assure that an appropriate fuzzy tolerance was used and none of the arcs were repositioned following CLEAN. LABELERRORS was run to detect extraneous and missing labels, and those errors were corrected in Arcedit. Occasionally IDEDIT was used to change the User-IDs stored in the LAB file to equal the label point User-IDs stored in the PAT. All data were projected to geographic decimal degrees. The coverage and shapefile 'cpcfoutl' was created to outline the coal-bearing formations.
