Pond Creek Coal Zone Resource Areas (Outcrop) in Kentucky, West Virginia, and Virginia

This dataset is a polygon coverage of counties limited to the extent of
the Pond Creek coal bed resource areas. Resource areas are only a subset
of the entire areal extent of the Pond Creek coal zone. This resource model
for the Pond Creek coal must be considered preliminary, because the
correlation of the zone continues to be evaluated in West Virginia. The
file has been generalized from detailed geologic coverages found elsewhere
in Professional Paper 1625-C.

The Pond Creek coal zone is known by multiple names, depending on locale,
even within a single State.
