Lower Kittanning Coal Bed Known Areal Extent (Outcrop) in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland
This dataset is a polygon coverage of the resource areas of the Lower
Kittanning coal zone. 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 Lower Kittanning coal bed. The Lower
Kittanning coal bed is in Ohio, West Virginia, western Pennsylvania, and
western Maryland and is an important economic coal bed in the
northern part of the Appalachian Basin. It is of additional importance
because it is one of the coal beds that has potential for coalbed methane
development within the Allegheny Group throughout most of the Appalachian
foreland basin in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Maryland.
This file has been generalized from detailed geologic
coverages found elsewhere in Professional Paper 1625-C.
