Legacy Green River Assessment GIS Data

Oil shale data for the Piceance Creek Basin, Colorado is available as USGS Data Series 181 and can be downloaded using the links below. This geodatabase is a digital reproduction of three legacy USGS oil shale publications--MF-958 (Pitman and Johnson, 1978), MF-1069 (Pitman, 1979), and OC-132 (Pitman and others, 1990). The database consists three feature datasets for each publication with a total of 106 feature classes.
