Notes
- ↑ Production after map date
- ↑ Microfilm, document 352387 was the source previously used, an inferior copy of the same map. Both source maps have the date “1944" handwritten below the title block, but without a month or surveyor’s signature, and it is not added to the map segment with the surveyor’s seal. This is thought to be the date the map was received, and not the date of the mine extent.
