This ArcView shapefile contains a polygon representing
the study area for the Wyodak-Anderson coal zone in the
Powder River Basin, Wyoming and Montana. 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).

Romeo Flores' field notes and firsthand knowledge of the
area were used to define the southern and western study
area boundaries for the Wyodak-Anderson coal
zone.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The line defining the extent of the Wyodak-Anderson coal
zone study area was drafted on mylar and scanned to
produce a .tif file. This file was registered and rectified in
ARC/INFO, and arcs were produced using the GRIDLINE
function in that program. In ArcView the
Wyodak-Anderson coal zone polygon was projected to
geographic coordinates and converted to a shapefile.
