Summary
This dataset is the digital compilation of geologic and resource maps provided mostly by State geologic surveys and depicts the projected area of occurrence of the Upper Freeport coal bed. The Upper Freeport coal bed is in Ohio, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, and western Maryland. The coal bed may extend into eastern Kentucky, but correlations are highly uncertain and do not warrant extrapolation south of the areas shown on this map at this time. This dataset represents the extent of the Upper Freeport coal bed used in the Apalachian coal region assessment. The file has been generalized from detailed geologic coverages found elsewhere in Professional Paper 1625-C.

Purpose
The purpose of Professional Paper 1625 is to release the interpretation of assessment and modeling data for the top-producing coal beds in the northern and central Appalachian Basin coal regions. The dataset has been generalized and is useful only in regional studies. Individuals who do not have an internet connection to access the detailed data coverages interactively through GeoDE or who cannot use the ARC/INFO export covers provided on this CD-ROM can use this coverage to obtain limited information on the Upper Freeport coal bed.
