Description:
Abstract:
A mined-out coal grid was created for the Powder River Basin, Montana and Wyoming. The grid was produced as part of the work performed by the U.S. Geological Survey's U.S. Coal Resource and Reserves Assessment Project. The grid portrays the areas within the Powder River Basin where coal resources have been removed by mining.
Purpose:
The mined-out coal grid was created to define areas within 47 coal beds where coal resources have been extracted during mining. The grid was also used to calculate, in combination with the isopach grids, the amount of coal resources that had previously been mined within these 47 coal beds.

Data_Set_Credit:
Mined-out coal grid was created using ArcView 3.0 and Spatial Analyst 2.0 by Lee M. Osmonson (USGS).

Data_Quality_Information:
Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of the cell attributes are dependent upon the ArcView GIS program that produced them.
Logical_Consistency_Report:
This grid is considered to be error-free. All mined-out coal grid cells have a value associated with them and contain no negative values.
Completeness_Report:
The location and extent of the areas with previous coal mining are the most current at the time of compilation.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The accuracy of the grid cells depends upon the accuracy of the location and extent of areas with previous coal mining as obtained from the original digital source.

Process_Description:
A shapefile containing the location and extent of areas with previous coal mining within the Powder River Basin, Montana and Wyoming, was obtained from the Casper Field Office of the BLM. The shapefile, already in the UTM, zone 13 (NAD27), coordinate system, was brought into ArcView, clipped to the project extent of the Powder River Basin and converted to a grid {30-meter cell size).
