Upper Freeport Coal Bed Resource Areas in Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia, and Maryland

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.
