Attribute accuracy has been reviewed by Coal Section personnel based on the best available information. Records of old mines (~pre-1950) are commonly incomplete or ambiguous.
Horizontal positional accuracy is verified by visual comparison of source and hard copy plots. The source materials used are commonly paper copies (ozalid or hand traces) or microfilm prints of original mine maps supplied by mining companies or other parties. ISGS staff have not verified the accuracy or validity of the original source material. Some original maps are not drawn on a cartographic base. Due to the physical and cartographic quality of the source materials used, horizontal positions may be in error by 500 feet or more. For applications requiring precise horizontal accuracy, the original source maps should be consulted.
This data set does not represent a complete collection of the location of mine shafts, slopes, and other openings. Many mines had more than one point of entry, however this data set generally includes only one entry point per mine.
Point topology present.
