Coal Maps

Map of US Coal Fields by the U.S. Geological Survey. Five priority regions for "coal resources that will supply a major part of the Nation’s energy during the next few decades." These regions are: the Appalachian Basin, Illinois Basin, Gulf Coast, Colorado Plateau, and Northern Rocky Mountains and Great Plains. How many mountains will fall?

The National Coal Resource Assessment (NCRA) was a multi-year project by the
U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Energy Program working with USGS and a number of State geological surveys in these coal-bearing regions. A study of coal resources on Federal lands was also conducted. Their goal is coal.
