The general area of mining in the northeastern part of the mine, the escape shaft, and a portion of the southeastern workings are shown on a 1923 source map of another mine, which indicates earlier ownership than shown below. The WPA map also indicates the Glenwood Mine (mine index 0827) also mined from the slope for the Banner Block Mine prior to 1923, and may been the initial operator of the Banner Block Mine.
