Abstract:
This dataset is an polygon coverage of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and Horizon.
The polygons are subdivided into areas where resources are unknown, areas
where resources are known but not yet mined, and areas where resources are
known and are mined.
Map Introduction:
This map is one of many Geographic Information System (GIS) products of the
National Coal Assessment that is being conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey
in cooperation with State gological surveys and other Federal and State
agencies. The base of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and its equivalent horizon is
used to subdivide Upper Pennsylvanian Series strata into the overlying
Monongahela Group and the underlying Conemaugh Group in the Appalachian Basin.
This map depicts the Pittsburgh Coal bed and stratigraphically-equivalent
non-coal strata, herein referred to as the Pittsburgh Coal bed and horizon.
The Pittsburgh Coal bed and horizon occurs in eastern Ohio, central and northern
West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. This map, consisting
of the original-extent GIS layer and the mined-area layer, will be combined with
coal isopach and coal bed structure layers for calculating remaining coal
resources. On this map, four types of information are shown: (1) original
extent of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and its laterally equivalent horizon; (2)
known mined areas of the Pittsburgh Coal bed; (3) areas of inadequate subsurface
control, areas of impure coal, and areas where the Pittsburgh Coal bed is
absent; and (4) areas where mining has occurred and/or known resources exist.
Methods:
The areal extent of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and horizon was digitized from
multiple sources using Arc-info. The digital maps were edited manually in
Arcedit and appended to create a single GIS data set (coverage) for each state:
all were combined to create a single GIS coverage for the areal extent of the
Pittsburgh Coal bed and horizon. In West Virginia, the areal extent of the bed
and horizon was digitized from maps in county and other reports that show coal
extents or outcrops for multiple beds at scales of 1:62,500 and 1:24,000 (see
references). Because the county geologic maps of Gilmer and Kanawha Counties,
WV show miscorrelations of the Pittsburgh Coal bed (B.M. Blake, West Virginia
Geological and Economic Survey, oral commun., 1996) the contact between the
Monongahela and Conemaugh Groups (Cardwell and others, 1968) was used for the
areal extent of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and horizon. The coverage for areas of
inadequate subsurface control, impure and absent Pittsburgh Coal and areas where
mining has occurred and/or resources are known were obtained from three types of
sources. In Wetzel, Doddridge, Gilmer, and the northwestern part of Kanawha
Counties, lines labeled "Approximate edge where the Pittsburgh Coal bed of
commercial thickness and purity disappears" (Hennen, 1912) were digitized from
the West Virginia county report maps. In Putnam and western Braxton Counties
the lines were digitized from Lotz (1970). Modifications of the published lines
in the county reports and Lotz (1970) were made on the basis of geologic field
work (C.B.Cecil, U.S. Geological Survey, oral commum., 1997; Nick Fedorko, West
Virginia Geological and Economic Survey, oral commun., 1997) in Roane, Calhoun,
Clay, eastern Kanawha, western Braxton, southern Lewis, and western Upshur
Counties. In Ohio, available 1:62,500 scale maps were mosaiced into resource
areas by the Ohio Division of Geological Survey (ODGS) and digitized. In
southern Ohio (Resource Area 13), where coal resource maps were not available,
the Monongahela/Conemaugh Group contact, as shown on the Geologic Map of Ohio
(Bownocker, 1920), was used for the areal extent of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and
horizon. Areas of inadequate subsurface control, impure, or absent coal and
areas where mining has occurred and/or resources are known were digitized from
the <14 in. isopach line delineated on isopach maps of the Pittsburgh Coal bed
(Bronsdon, 1975). Because different criteria were used to delineate the lines
of known resources from areas of inadequate subsurface control, impure or
absent coal in Ohio and West Virginia, an offset is observed at the state
boundaries. In Pennsylvania, county reports, which included reduced 1:24,000
scale maps, were digitized (see data sources). In Maryland, the cropline of
the Pittsburgh Coal bed was taken from the Monongahela/Conemaugh contact on the
Geologic Map of Maryland (Cleaves and others, 1968) and revised with Berryhill
and others (1956) in Alleghany County and an unpublished 1:100,000 compilation
map that includes Garrett County (D. Brezinski, Maryland Department of Natural
Resources, Maryland Geological Survey,1997). The cropline of the Pittsburgh Coal
bed was then built for polygon topology. Each polygon was labeled as either coal
bearing or devoid of coal.
The mined data were acquired from various sources. The primary source in the
northern part of the Pittsburgh Coal bed and horizon was a proprietary Computer
Aided Design (CAD) file from the John T. Boyd Company, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
which provided data for Ohio, much of Pennsylvania, and northern West Virginia.
Mined areas that were not included in the John T. Boyd Company map in Greene,
Westmoreland, Fayette, and Allegheny Counties, Pennsylvania, were obtained from
the Pennsylvania Topographic and Geologic Survey county reports (various dates).
West Virginia Geological and Economic Survey Open-file mine maps (various dates)
were used for the mined area coverage south of Monongalia and Marion Counties.
In Maryland, the Pittsburgh Coal bed is assumed to be mined-out at the scale
represented by this map (D.Brezinski, Maryland Department of Natural Resources,
Maryland Geological Survey, oral commun., 1996). The John T. Boyd map (1995)
was geo-referenced using state boundaries and reference points with Arcedit,
appended with digitized West Virginia data, and both data sets were cleaned
manually. The three sets of data were combined to create a single coverage and
built for polygon topology. The resulting coverage, a combination of the mined
and areal extent coverages, was built for polygon topology. This final coverage
was used to produce this map.
Purpose:
This dataset was produced to be used in the National Coal Assessment Program.
It will be utilized for resource calculations, hardcopy map products, as well
as in an 'On-Line Energy Decision Support System' currently under construction.

Data_Quality_Information:
Logical_Consistency_Report:
Topology for this data set was built using the CLEAN command within
ARC/INFO. This command eliminates dangling nodes, calculates inter-
sections of arcs, eliminates redundant arcs, and creates an polygon
attribute table.
Completeness_Report:
This data set is a representation of the Pittsburgh coal seam. Although
the source maps differentiated underground mines from surface mines, no
effort was made to keep them seperate in the data collection phase. Source
data was selected by project manager (Jingle Ruppert). These maps are
believed to contain the most up to date information available concerning
the Pittsburgh coal bed.
