Notes
- ↑ The Federal Land Bank Report for this area has been lost, but the mine notes cited that report and that this mine was active at that time. Pikes Coal Company may have operated 1930-1933, when mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year were not listed in the Coal Reports.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
