Coal Polygon Data for Northern Grampians Special Map

Geological Survey of Victoria data displays coal polygon features in a limited area near Zumsteins in the Grampians. The dataset is sourced from the Northern Grampians Special 1:50,000 Map from 1997 and is accompanied by related geology datasets.

Use Cases

• Map coal polygon features from the Northern Grampians Special Map for geological survey analysis.
• Integrate this coal polygon data with accompanying datasets on geology outcrop and structural lines for regional resource assessment.
• Compare this localized coal polygon data with the state-wide COALINVSBD inventory for resource inventory validation.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Geological Survey of Victoria.
• Available in multiple geospatial file formats including SHP, DXF, and WFS for tool flexibility.
• Accompanied by related datasets on outcrops, boundaries, and structural lines for contextual analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset covers an extremely limited geographic area, reducing broad applicability.
• Core metrics like row count, column count, and data size are unknown.
• Primary source map is from 1997, potentially making the data temporally stale.
