Description:
Abstract:
The shapefile AKCokingCoalDeposits represents point locations of coking coal deposits in the State of Alaska in the United States as shown in maps published by Warfield and Boley (1969) and Merritt and Hawley (1986). 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 point locations of coking coal deposits in the State of Alaska.

Data_Set_Credit:
The original maps used to create digital representations of coking coal deposits were published by Warfield and Boley (1969) and Merritt and Hawley (1986). Digital shapefiles were created by Michael H. Trippi of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Native_Data_Set_Environment:
Microsoft Windows 10; Version 6.2 (Build 9200) ; Esri ArcGIS 10.5.0.6491

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Merrit and Hawley (1986) online publication was downloaded as PDF and a portion of the map showing the Matanuska River and Bering River coal fields was cropped and saved in JPEG format.
Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: MerrittHawley
Process_Date: 20140211
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The JPEG image created in process step 1 was georeferenced at points of intersection of latitude and longitude lines and recognizable locations along shorelines and rivers using ArcMap georeferencing software.
Process_Date: 20140211
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The georeferenced JPEG image was added to an ArcMap project, and point locations of coal deposits were digitized and saved as the shapefile AKCokingCoalDeposits.
Process_Date: 20140211
Process_Step:
Process_Description:
The Warfield and Boley (1969) online publication was downloaded as a PDF, and the Figure 1 (Index and Location Map, Kukpowruk River Area, Alaska) showing the Cape Beaufort, Kukpowruk River, and Kokolik River coal sample locations was saved in JPEG format.
