Description:

Abstract:: This ArcView shapefile contains a polygon representation of surface and subsurface ownership in the Powder River Basin. This theme was created specifically for the National Coal Resources Assessment in the Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Plains Region.
Purpose:: The Nation's coal resources are being assessed by the USGS. This assessment identifies and characterizes the coal beds and coal zones that will provide the bulk of the Nation's coal-derived energy during the next few decades. This assessment is different from previous USGS assessments because digital files and databases are being collected and stored in standardized formats, and being analyzed using a Geographic Information System (GIS).

Data_Set_Credit:

100,000-scale surface and mineral management status maps published by the BLM. Margaret Ellis, U.S. Geological Survey, created the coverage for the outline of the Powder River Basin based on geologic studies. The basin outline represents the base of the Tertiary Fort Union Formation, or the general Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary. The northeastern portion of the boundary was generalized along the Miles City Arch area and the Yellowstone River. 100,000-scale quadrangles in Montana. 100,000-scale quadrangle.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

100,000 hardcopy BLM maps were used for reference. The items SURF (surface ownership) and FEDMINS (Federal mineral ownership) were added to the Polygon Attribute Table (PAT) and both defined as 8-character fields. SURF was populated using the existing item, STATUS, or by visual 100,000-scale quadrangle BLM maps to identify bodies of water. Through interaction with the MT State BLM office, and by reference to the corresponding hard copy BLM maps, the item FEDMINS was populated. The ARC/INFO coverage's obtained from the MT State BLM office are more recent 100,000-scale quadrangles; therefore, the ARC/INFO coverage's were honored when small discrepancies were found, especially in areas less than 1/2 section. After attributes were assigned, the coverage's were proofed visually by creating hardcopy plots to compare with the BLM original maps. Each quadrangle coverage is housed in a USGS Central Energy Resources Team Data Library. A copy of each of the completed coverage's was provided in its original projection to the MT State BLM office and ultimately to the Montana State Library. All of the quadrangles that are appended for the Powder River Basin coverage have been projected to Lambert meters with the parameters used for this coverage. 24,000 scale, and include both the surface and mineral ownership status as well as types of minerals reserved to the government. The MOSS file is in State Plane meters - zone 5801; it was imported into ARC/INFO using the MOSSARC command and projected to Lambert meters with the parameters used for this coverage. The polygon attribute item, DATA, contains a 6-character ownership attribute coding scheme used by the WY State BLM office, and referred to as the "pizza" code. Letter identifiers within this code define surface ownership, subsurface ownership, agency with jurisdiction, and mineral reservation. The 6th character of the "pizza" code (withdrawal type) was incomplete, so was not used. In ARC/INFO, DISSOLVED on item 5 of the pizza code to eliminate the incomplete 6th character. Through interaction with the WY State BLM office and by referencing a "pizza" code key provided by that BLM office, the USGS populated the polygon attribute items SURF and FEDMINS to conform to the attributing standards that the USGS has set for our ownership coverages. 100,000-scale quadrangles (Bill, Midwest, Douglas, Sundance, Newcastle, Lance Creek, and Lusk). BLM separates for the most recent BLM surface and mineral management status maps were scanned and vectored using AutoCad. The AutoCad polygons were attributed and then converted to Arc/Info coverage's where they were merged into one seamless coverage using the Arc/Info UNION command. The completed coverage's contain polygon attributes in items SURF and FEDMINS. 100,000-scale quadrangle coverages were processed using ARC/INFO ERASE, APPEND, and UPDATE as needed to create one coverage for the entire basin. Following APPEND, this Powder River Basin coverage was processed using CLEAN to create polygon topology (BUILD wouldn't work because there were intersections). The before and after CLEAN coverage's were compared and no appreciable line offsets were found. The coverage was edited to delete extraneous polygons created during APPEND, and to add arcs where needed in a gap between the Montana data and the Wyoming data at the State line. DISSOLVE was used to eliminate quadrangle boundaries and any other extraneous arcs and polygons. Some minor polygons defining Federal Agency Protective Withdrawals and Public Water Reserves were lost in the DISSOLVE routine. In the Sheridan and Recluse quadrangles, some minor detail on Power Withdrawals and Classifications, and Bureau of Reclamation lands were lost. The Powder River Basin area ownership coverage was intersected with the Powder River Basin boundary coverage to eliminate the data outside of the Powder River Basin as defined for the National Coal Assessment. We have subsequently found problems with the region subclasses when we attempted to project this coverage. A message alerts that an unclosed region was detected. However, REGIONERRORS reports no unclosed region detected for this coverage. The DROPFEATURES command can be used to delete a region subclass from this coverage before projecting.
