The Colorado Geological Survey prepared Map Series 6 entitled ''Energy Resource Development Map of Colorado,'' compiled by D. Keith Murray. This two-color map is published at a scale of 1:500,000 (one inch equals approximately 8 miles) and measures 42'' x 58''. This map displays all of the known energy-related projects and conversion facilities proposed or planned in Colorado as of January 1, 1976, together with the locations of the State's energy resources. The projects shown on the map include Federal Known and Proposed Coal Leasing Areas and Known Geothermal Resource Areas, uranium prospecting permit areas, existing and proposed power generating plants, active and proposed surface and underground coal mines, sites of oil shale activity, 1975 oil and gas discoveries, and locations of uranium/vanadium mills. The energy resources portrayed on the map include the approximate extent of the coal-bearing regions; distribution of surface or near-surface coal-bearing strata, including that which may be potentially ''strippable'' (shown as a green overprint); distribution of oil shale; oil and gas fields; uranium resource areas; and thermal springs and wells. This useful exploration, development, and planning tool was prepared in cooperation with the Governor's Energy Policy Council and the Colorado Energy Research Institute.
