Survey produces map of coal-resource areas

Thursday, August 10th 2006

The Utah Geological Survey has produced a new map showing the location of Utah’s coal resource areas.

The map highlights the state’s coal-bearing basins. It shows the locations of state and federal coal leases as of late 2005.

The map is designed to be useful to the coal industry, power industry, government planners, educators and the general public to identify where current mining and use of Utah coal is occurring and where future development might take place.
