Notes
- ↑ Production indicates less than 1 acre was mined.
- ↑ Both map sources are from the same approximate time period, circa 1934. Howard Pope may have operated in 1922, when mines producing less than 10,000 tons were not listed in the Coal Reports, or between 1930 and 1933, when mines producing less than 1,000 tons were not listed. Alternatively, Howard Pope may have been the owner of Panther Creek Coal Company.
