Description:
Abstract:
The shapefile ILBasinCoal represents polygon areas where high-volatile bituminous coal can be found in the States of llinois, Indiana, and Kentucky in the United States in the Illinois basin. 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 areas where high-volatile bituminous coal can be found in the States llinois, Indiana, and Kentucky in the United States in the Illinois basin.

Data_Set_Credit:
The original maps used to create digital representations of high-volatile bituminous coal areas in the States of Illinois and Indiana were published by Korose and Elrick (2010) and Valia and Mastalerz (2004). Digital shapefiles were created by Michael H. Trippi of the U.S. Geological Survey. Shapefiles representing areas of Mississippian and Pennsylvanian rocks in western Kentucky were downloaded from a USGS website at <https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051324>.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report: No accuracy tests were run on these features.
Logical_Consistency_Report: No logical consistency tests were run on these features.
Completeness_Report: No completeness tests were run on these features.
Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy:
Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report:
The horizontal accuracy of the features is based on the accuracy of the original maps used, which is unknown. Some inaccuracy may also come from distortion that inevitably occurs when georeferencing scanned images of maps.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A screenshot of Figure. 1 (Subdivisions of the Illinois coalfield and approximate areas of high-volatile A, B, and C bituminous rank coals based on the Herrin Coal) from Korose and Elrick (2010) was added to an ArcMap project and georeferenced. The areas of high-volatile bituminous coal were digitized and saved as features in a new shapefile.

Process_Description:
A screenshot of Figure 2 (Map showing active and abandoned coal mines in Indiana) from Valia and Mastalerz (2004) was added to an ArcMap project and georeferenced. Areas of the Pennsylvanian System (coal-bearing strata) were digitized and added as features to the shapefile created in step one.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
A shapefile representing geologic map units in Kentucky was downloaded from a USGS website at <https://doi.org/10.3133/ofr20051324>, and added to an ArcMap project. Mississippian and Pennsylvanian (M&P) units in western Kentucky were selected and added to the shapefile created in step one. In several locations where surficial Quaternary-age fluvial deposits overlaid the M&P rocks, the M&P features were joined to create a larger contiguous feature.
