- Abstract:
-
The shapefile NMCokingCoalDeposits represents polygon areas of coking coal mining in the State of New Mexico in the United States in the Raton, Monero, Cerrillos, and Carthage coal fields. 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 of coking coal mining in the State of New Mexico in the Raton, Monero, Cerrillos, and Carthage coal fields.

The original maps used to create digital representations of coking coal deposits in the State of New Mexico were published by Hoffman and Jones (2005), Hoffman (1991), Bachman (1975), Beaumont (1979), Hoffman (2017), and Averitt (1966). Digital shapefiles were created by Michael H. Trippi of the U.S. Geological Survey.

A shapefile of coal districts in the Raton coal field was downloaded from the website for the Hoffman and Jones (2005) publication at <https://geoinfo.nmt.edu/publications/openfile/details.cfml?volume=490> and added to an ArcMap project, then the districts were saved as features in a new shapefile called NMCokingCoalDeposits.

-
A screenshot of figure 1 (Map of coal fields of the San Juan Basin in NM) from Hoffman (1991) was added to an ArcMap project and georeferenced at the point locations of the intersections of latitude and longitude lines shown on the map. The polygon shape of the Monero coal field was digitized and added as a feature to the shapefile created in step one.

A georeferenced image of the USGS geologic map of the Madrid, NM quadrangle (Bachman, 1975) was downloaded from <https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Prodesc/proddesc_10804.htm>, added to an ArcMap project, and the polygon shapes of the Mesaverde Formation areas in the Miller, Waldo, and Madrid Gulches (locations where Beaumont [1979] described coking coal mining occurrences) were digitized and added as features to the shapefile created in step one.

A screenshot image of figure 2 (Geologic map and location of mines in the Carthage coal field) from Hoffman and Hereford (2005) was added to an ArcMap project and georeferenced at the corners of the township and range sections shown on the map. A circular polygon shape approximately 10 kilometers in diameter surrounding the mine locations of the map was added as a feature to the shapefile created in step one.
