Description:
Abstract:
This dataset represents the resource areas of the Lower Kittanning coal bed.
Purpose:
This dataset can be used to display the resource areas of the Lower Kittanning coal bed 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.
Supplemental_Information:
This dataset is the digital compilation of geologic and resource maps provided mostly by State geologic surveys and depicts the projected area of occurrence of the Lower Kittanning coal bed. The Lower Kittanning coal bed is in Ohio, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, and western Maryland and is an important economic coal bed in the northern part of the Appalachian basin. It is of additional importance because it is one of the coal beds that has potential for coalbed-methane development within the Allegheny Group throughout most of the Appalachian foreland basin in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland. This file has been generalized from detailed geologic coverages found in Professional Paper 1625-C. The purpose of Professional Paper 1625 is to release the interpretation of assessment and modeling data for the top-producing coal beds and zones in the northern and central Appalachian basin coal regions. The dataset has been generalized and is useful only in regional studies.

Data_Set_Credit:
The areal extent of the Lower Kittanning coal bed was digitized from multiple hardcopy sources using ArcInfo and Arcedit. It is recommended that newer data be obtained from the State geological surveys that are generally the sources of the original information in this study.

Attribute_Accuracy:
Attribute_Accuracy_Report: Deductive Estimate: Generalized with 250 meter weedtolerance.
Logical_Consistency_Report: Topologically clean
Completeness_Report:
The polygons in this coverage are a general representation of county-based information for this coal bed within the geographic areas of resource calculation for the 2000 National Coal Assessment. Some small areas of coal outcrop may have been lost in the generalization process and will not match the detailed coverages available for this coal bed elsewhere in Professional Paper 1625-C. All internal no-coal and thin-coal areas have been dissolved for display purposes.

These maps were source of MD crop in these 7.5' quadrangles: Avilton (southeast corner), Barton, Bittinger (southeast corner), Cresaptown, Cumberland, Deer Park, Frostburg, Gorman, Keyser, Kitzmiller, Lonaconing, Oakland, Sang Run (parts of southern end), Table Rock and most of Westernport.
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
All maps were manually digitized using ARC/INFO. Lines were attributed for source.
Process_Date: 1998-2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Ohio crop data were converted from dgn file format into ARC/INFO format.
Process_Date: 1999-2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Old topographic-based maps (CLR-A65, CLR-A75, Bulletin-1143-B, Bulletin-1143-A, WV-Lew, WV-Min, WV-Up-Ran) were digitized as needed. The crop was plotted over 7.5' topo maps and adjusted to fit drainage; location very generalized. Lines were attributed for source.
Process_Date: 1999-2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Elk County and Huntley 7.5 min quadrangle, PA crop was originally interpolated from known outcrop, bore hole data, surface mining and State geology map (PA-TGS-PA)
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Elk County and Huntley 7.5 min quadrangle, PA crop was revised according to written communciation from Clifford H. Dodge and working map (PA-ELK-DODGE)
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description: All of the raw line data were appended.
Process_Date: 1999-2000

Process_Description:
Clearfield Co., Pa missing crop was pieced together for Hastings and Coalport 7.5' quads. Crop adapted on topo maps to match crop on neighboring maps.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Centre Co., Pa missing crop for Sandy Ridge 7.5' quad was adapted on topo map to match crop on neighboring maps.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Centre and Clinton Co., Pa crop was adapted from structure data points on topo maps in these 7.5' quads: Snowshoe, Keating, Renova West and Renova East. Location very generalized and 'no data' lines drawn to connect limited crop data.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Fayette Co., Pa source map (PA-TGS-FAY) was incomplete and crop was interpolated in select areas of Lake Lynn, Donegal and Seven Springs 7.5' quadrangles. Crop line was attributed for source.
Process_Date: 2000

Bedford Co., Pa crop for Fairhope 7.5' quadrangle was interpolated across the county boundary from Somerset. Crop line was attributed for source.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Maryland missing crop was adapted on topographic map to match nearby crop in the south end of Sang Run and along Potomac River in Westernport and Kitzmiller quads. Crop line was attributed for source.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Jefferson Co., Ohio crop along Ohio River was adapted to match topography and crop in WV. Crop line was attributed for source.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Straight lines representing 'Limit of available data' were drawn and attributed for source. Lack of data limited the crop in Lawrence, Beaver, Mercer, Venango, Clearfield, Centre and Clinton counties, Pa. Lack of data limited the crop in Atwater 7.5' quadrangle in Portage County, Ohio. Lack of data limited the crop in Garrett County, Md and in Mineral County, WV. Crop line was attributed for source.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A line representing 'Limit of available data' was drawn to connect the southern extremes of known crop. Smooth arcing line was delimited by Lower Kittanning point data. Crop line was attributed for source.
Process_Date: 2000
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Coal crop data set was edited to resolve inconsistencies between maps and to incorporate revisions. All lines were checked for correct line attribution. Polygon topology was built and a cleaning function was performed. Polygons were attributed using the codes described within this document.
