Coal Quality and Resources of the Former Soviet Union - An ArcView Project

Publication_Information:

Publication_Place: Denver, CO. U.S.A.

Publisher: U.S. Geological Survey

Description:

Abstract:

This shapefile contains arcs, polygons and polygon labels that describe coal-bearing territories and identified coal deposits in the countries comprising the Former Soviet Union. (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Estonia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Russia, Tajikstan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan.) This spatial dataset is available as an ArcView shapefile, an Arc/Info export file, an Arc/Info ascii ungenerate file and as Spatial Data Transfer Standard (SDTS) files.

Purpose:

This spatial dataset is intended to delineate coal-bearing territories and coal deposits of the Former Soviet Union in U.S.G.S. Open File Report 01-104, Coal Quality and Resources of the Former Soviet Union - An ArcView Project.
