      <abstract>This is a point file that contains data for coal and other
stratigraphic horizons in in the Calico and A-sequences of
the Straight Cliffs Formation (Upper Cretaceous) east of 112
degrees of longitude in the Kaiparowits Plateau. The item
map# is the number of the data point on the index map
(Figure A, Plate 1). The map# that refers to a record in the
data table (Appendix 1) in Hettinger and others, chap. T.
Buffers were drawn at a three-mile distance from data points
in this coverage to create the reliability coverage.</abstract>
      <purpose>The Nation's coal resources are being assessed by the USGS.
A fundamental component of this assessment work is to
compile digital geologic and geographic data into a
Geographic Information System (GIS). Use of this GIS allowed
for the spatial integration of data layers. This resulted in
the ability to display, analyze, and query data to answer
complex geo-spatial questions concerning coal resource
occurrence.

This file provides the tabular data on coal in the Calico
and A-sequences of the Straight Cliffs Formation (Upper
Cretaceous) east of 112 degrees of longitude in the
Kaiparowits Plateau. The point locations are intended for
GIS application at a scale of 1:24,000 or less, for example
1:100,000).</purpose>

        <procdesc>Data points were digitized by the USGS from locations
plotted on 7.5' quadangles (1:24,000 scale) by the U.S.
Bureau of Land Management Utah State Office. Data sources
include 5M, Inc., PacificCorp Electric Operations, Andalex
Resources, Oryx Energy Company and the U.S. Bureau of
Land Management Utah State Office (see acknowledgments,
Hettinger and others, chap. T). Coal thickness and depths
to coal and other stratigraphic horizons were interpreted
from geophysical logs by R.D. Hettinger. Refer to
Appendix 1, in Hettinger and others (chap. T) for detailed
descriptions of data fields. Revisions: Projected to
UTM 12 and then to geographic decimal degrees.</procdesc>

THK&gt;40
net thickness of coal beds &gt;40' thick

NUM&gt;40

MAP#
identification number on location map (Fig. A on Plate 1)
and cross sections (Figs. C, D, and E, Plate 1, Hettinger
and others, chap. T)
-99 in field means NO DATA.

DEPTHCSB was used to calculate ELEVCSB by subtracting
DEPTHCSB from SURFELEV. If the value for ELEVCSB in Appendix
1 of Hettinger and others (1999) has an asterisk beside it,
then it was derived by subtracting ESTDEPTHCSB from SURFELV.
ESTDEPTHCSB is inferred by correlations to nearby drill
holes.</eaover>
