Description:
Abstract:
This dataset represents the northern, central, and southern coal regions in the Appalachian basin of the Eastern United States.
Purpose:
This dataset can be used to display the northern, central, and southern coal regions in the Appalachian basin of the Eastern United States. It is available in shapefile and Zipped Keyhole Markup Language (KMZ) formats, and can be viewed using ArcGIS, Google Earth, or any software package that supports these data formats.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Shapefile uscoal_l.shp was downloaded from the web site (<https://pubs.usgs.gov/of/1996/of96-092/>) and added to an ArcGIS project.
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Coal Fields of Conterminous United States
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Polyline features from the shapefile that formed the boundaries of the Appalachian basin were selected and joined at their endpoints to create polygon features which were then saved as a new shapefile with the name app_coal_basins.shp. Anthracite coal basins of Pennsylvania and Virginia were not included in the shapefile.
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Shapefile pr67bndg.shp representing the National Oil and Gas Assessment (NOGA) province boundary for the Appalachian basin (province 67) was added to the ArcMap project and used to crop the western and southern boundaries of app_coal_basins.shp polygons where they extended beyond the boundaries of province 67 in Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama.
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: NOGA prov67
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Shapefile countyp020.shp from the National Atlas was added to the ArcMap project and several Alabama counties (Cullman, Fayette, Franklin, Jefferson, Lamar, Lawrence, Marion, Tuscaloosa, Walker, and Winston counties) were selected and merged to form one polygon, then merged with the polygon created in process step 3. As per R.C. Milici and J.R. Hatch's 2002 NOGA assessment of undiscovered Carboniferous coal-bed gas resources in the Appalachian basin in 2002, the boundaries of the Appalachian basin were extended to the western edge of Pennsylvanian subcropping rocks in these counties in Alabama.

Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Milici and Hatch, 2004
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The largest polygon forming the main body of the Appalachian basin was split into three sections representing the northern, central, and southern Appalachian basin coal regionson the basis of a hand drawn map. Smaller adjacent polygons were assigned to the appropriate region on the basis of proximity to one of the first three polygons described above.
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Polygons belonging to the same region were grouped and merged into one record. The final table had only three records representing northern, central, and southern Appalachian basin coal regions.
Process_Date: 2007
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
All fields except FID and Shape were deleted from the attribute table, and a new field, name, was added to the table. The three records were labelled "Northern Appalachian basin coal region," "Central Appalachian basin coal region," and "Southern Appalachian basin coal region" in the name field.
