The Nation's coal resources are being reassessed by the USGS. A fundamental component of this assessment work is to compile digital geologic and geographic data into a Geographic Information System (GIS). Use of this GIS allowed for the spatial integration of data layers. This resulted in the ability to display, analyze, and query data to answer complex geo-spatial questions concerning coal resource occurrence. As part of this National Coal Assessment, Hettinger and others, chap. T, have completed an assessment of the coal deposits in the Calico and A-sequences of the Straight Cliffs Formation, Kaiparowits Plateau of southern Utah. Their report delineates the distribution of coal and provides estimates of resources in the basin. This data set is intended as a basemap layer for GIS applications at a scale of 1:125,000 or less.
