      <abstract>This file depicts the geologic faults contained within the
Lower White River coal field.</abstract>
      <purpose>The Nation's coal resources are being reassessed by the
USGS. This assessment identifies and characterizes the coal
beds and coal zones that will provide the bulk of the
nation's coal-derived energy during the next century. This
assessment is different from previous large-scale USGS
assessments because files and databases are being stored in
a digital analyzed using a Geographic Information System.</purpose>
