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

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: January 27, 2026 | Last Modified: 2021-05-24T00:00:00Z
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.
