These selected 7.5-minute quadrangle maps are available online
as PDF versions and show active and abandoned mines and their known
extent on a topographic map base which includes township, range,
and section lines and surface features such as roads, towns, lakes,
and rivers. The mines are color-coded by mining method and the relative
precision and completeness of the source map used for the mine boundary
are indicated. Scale 1:24,000. Accompanying each map is a directory
that gives a brief history of mining on the quadrangle and lists
for each mine the location of mine opening and tipples; the name,
thickness, and depth of seams mined; production history; geologic
problems reported; company names; mine names and numbers; type of
mine; years operated; coal seam mined; and mine location.
