Publication_Date: 2000 Title: Geologic Assessment of Coal in the Colorado Plateau Series_Information: Series_Name: U.S. Geological Survey Professional Paper Issue_Identification: 1625-B Publication_Information: Publication_Place: Denver, CO Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey Description: Abstract: This is a color shaded relief image (TIFF file) of the Yampa coal field. Purpose: The Nation's coal resources are being reassessed 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 century. This assessment is different from previous large-scale USGS assessments because files and databases are being stored in a digital format and are being analyzed using a Geographic Information System (GIS).

The individual DEMs were converted to ARC/INFO lattices with the DEMLATTICE command and then mosaiced using GRID's MOSAIC command. This lattice was then projected (PROJECT) to specific Lambert parameters. Further processing in ARC/INFO using the GRIDIMAGE command and manipulation in Adobe Photoshop created the shaded-relief image.
