Main drift An air drift may have existed north of the main drift (also in SE NE SE 14-T8N-R7E), but there is no symbol or label on the source map. The lines on the source map leading in that direction were dashed, which usually indicates an entry that the survey or could not visually ascertain. A functioning airway should have been accessible to the survey or, and this may indicate that the entry was not an airway. No other air shafts were shown on the source map.
