The mine outline is smaller than expected for the reported production. The source map for Lea No. 2 Mine (mine index 5825) indicated they holed into old works, and Big Hollow map showed an area of old works south of most of the workings and on the west side of the shaft. A general area of mining is shaded on the accompanying map for this described area, which brings the total acreage shown to 144.
