Group: Summary
  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).
  
  This ArcView shapefile contains a polygon
  representation of the Williston Basin boundary.  This theme
  was created specifically for the National Coal Resource
  Assessment in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great
  Plains Region.
