Selected ARC/INFO coverages created for investigations
of the distribution and resources of coal in the Kaiparowits Plateau, southern
Utah: an accompaniment to Hettinger and others, 1996
version 1
by L.R.H. Biewick, R.D. Hettinger, and L.N.R. Roberts
The following is a list of the coverages and a brief description of each. More detailed documentation are included in the metadata files associated with each coverage. Note: in the ARC/INFO workspace names designated by scale, k = thousand and m = million.
Directory and workspace:
kaip/coverages/scale24k:
|
twnshp |
Polygon coverage: township and range in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
kaipcoal |
Point coverage: point source data for coal in the John Henry Member of the Straight Cliffs Formation east of 112 degrees longitude in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
kaip/coverages/scale100k:
|
bb_surf |
Polygon coverage: land management status "clipped" from the statewide Utah land ownership coverage originally derived from Gap Analysis (Edwards, 1993). The clip is a bounding box that surrounds the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
county |
Polygon coverage: counties in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
roads |
Line coverage: roads in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
kaip/coverages/scale125k:
|
allcoal |
Polygon coverage: the total coal coverage containing eleven different attributes of information including net coal thickness and estimated coal tonnages. This layer was derived from a "union" process, i.e., intersection and overlay of numerous layers and retaining attributes of each. |
|
cb_int |
Polygon coverage: the Kaiparowits Plateau area, representing total coal-bearing intervals or partially eroded coal-bearing intervals. |
|
csb |
Polygon coverage: the outcrop of the Calico sequence boundary. It defines the base of the coal-bearing John Henry Member of the Straight Cliffs Formation east of 112 degrees of longitude. |
|
csb_struct |
Polygon coverage: the structure contours of the Calico sequence boundary in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
dip |
Polygon coverage: the inclination of strata within the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
fig22 |
Polygon coverage: showing areas of the Kaiparowits Plateau where geologic conditions are more favorable for current underground mining technology (Hettinger and others, 1996, fig. 22). |
|
kdak |
Polygon coverage: the outline of the Kaiparowits Plateau east of 112 degrees of longitude, delineated by the base of the Upper Cretaceous rocks (Dakota Sandstone) except along its northern boundary which is delineated by the Paunsaugunt fault and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age. |
|
kdak_dd |
Polygon coverage: same as above, in geographic decimal degrees. |
|
kjh_bkw |
Polygon coverage: the outcrop of the base of the Wahweap Formation (Upper Cretaceous) east of 112 degrees of longitude. The northern boundary is delineated by the Paunsaugunt fault and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age. |
|
kjh_kdt |
Polygon coverage: the outcrop of the base of the Drip Tank Member of the Straight Cliffs Formation (Upper Cretaceous) east of 112 degrees of longitude. The northern boundary is delineated by the Paunsaugunt fault and volcanic rocks of Tertiary age. |
|
kjh_thk |
Polygon coverage: contours of the combined thickness of the Calico and A-sequences in the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
m_adit |
Line coverage: coal mine adits within the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
|
structure |
Line coverage: the structural features within the Kaiparowits Plateau study area. |
utah/coverages/scale100k:
|
ut_st_dd |
Polygon coverage: the Utah State boundary (in geographic decimal degrees). |
utah/coverages/scale5m:
|
ut_fedl_dd |
Polygon coverage: generalized land status in Utah (in geographic decimal degrees). |
