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 polygon representation of surface and subsurface ownership in the Williston Basin. 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: The three source maps were scanned, and moved to ARC/INFO were they were registered and rectified. The images were then digitized on screen to produce three separate polygon coverages. The three coverages were joined together to produce a single polygon coverage. The new coverage was projected to geographic coordinates and converted to a shapefile in ArcView.
