Summary

This is a polygon coverage that represents areas underlain by the coal-bearing Calico and A-sequences of the Straight Cliffs Formation east of 112 degrees of longitude. It differentiates between areas that contain the entire coal-bearing interval and areas where the coal-bearing strata are partially eroded. The outermost polygon defines the base of the Calico and A-sequences. The inner polygon shows where the complete coal-bearing interval is preserved. The area between the outer and inner polygon shows where the coal-bearing rocks are partially eroded. The northern boundary is delineated by the Paunsaugunt fault and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age.

Purpose

The Nation's coal resources are being assessed 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. This data set is intended as a basemap layer for GIS applications at a scale of 1:125,000 or less.
