- 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.
