- Abstract:
-
The shapefile MongoliaCoalAreasBasinsProvinces represents polygon locations of coal areas, coal basins, and coal provinces in Mongolia from figure 2 of Erdenetsogt and others (2009). The shapefile format can be viewed using ArcGIS or any software package that supports this data format.
- Purpose:
-
The shapefile is intended for use in a GIS project to display the locations of coal areas, basins, and provincess in Mongolia.

Map was georeferenced at points of intersection of latitude and longitude lines or recognizable locations of international boundaries using ArcMap georeferencing software.
- Process_Date: 02152013
- Process_Step:
-
- Process_Description:
-
Georeferenced JPEG images were added to ArcMap project and polygon locations of coal area, basins, and provinces were digitized in ArcMap and names of coal areas, basins, and provinces, and abbreviated codes for labelling these features on maps were assigned to each feature in the attribute table.
