Description:
Abstract:
The shapefile WACokingCoalMines represents point locations of coking coal mines in the State of Washington in the United States based on township, range, and section locations of these mines listed in Valentine and Huntting (1960). 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 coking coal mines in the State of Washington.

Data_Set_Credit:
The original township, range, and section locations used to create digital representations of coking coal mines in the State of Washington were published by Valentine and Huntting (1960). Digital shapefiles were created by Michael H. Trippi of the U.S. Geological Survey.

Process_Description:
Coal mine name, township, range, and section number for the Cokedale, Niblock (Snoqualmie), Old No. 3, Roslyn, Burnett, South Willis, Wilkeson, Carbonado, Fairfax, and Montezuma (Marcy) mines described on pages 29-33 of Valentine and Huntting (1960) were entered into a spreadsheet. Values of latitude and longitude for the centroids of sections (as determined by the Bureau of Land Management) were determined using the Earth Point website (at <http://www.earthpoint.us/TownshipsSearchByDescription.aspx> ), and entered into the spreadsheet. A column for the coal field names was added to the spreadsheet, and the name of the appropriate coal field was entered for each coal mine using data from Valentine and Huntting (1960). Another column called Label was added to the spreadsheet, and unique identification numbers for labeling the points on the map were entered for each coal mine. The spreadsheet was saved in CSV format.

Process_Description:
The CSV spreadsheet was imported into an ArcMap project, and the point locations were displayed on the map. The point features were saved as the WACokingCoalMines shapefile.
