Description:

Abstract:: This coverage contains a representation of the overburden in the Hagel Coal Zone area. This area is part of the National Coal Assessment Rocky Mountain Region, and can be viewed in relation to roads, geology, and other relevant themes of this area.
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 stored and analyzed in formats using a Geographic Information System (GIS).

Source_Contribution:

This source was used to generate an earthVision grid which represented the surfce elevation in the Hagel coalfield.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Overburden-Modeled (using earthVision) top of zone elevation using top of zone elevation value in dataset. This value was then subtracted from USGS 250k dems to create an output overburden grid. Contours were created from this overburden grid and brought into ArcInfo. This coverage was then converted to a shapefile in Arcview.
