Sources of Data
| Personal communicationA copy of the relevant portion of an aerial photograph showing surface mine updates was sent, along with the information that New Oak Hill No. 6 Mine extended the southern boundary of the Blue Bird No. 1 Mine (mine index 610). As no map for Blue Bird No. 1 Mine exists, and the outline shown on the accompanying map is from topographic maps and aerial photographs, it is not possible to discern which portions were mined by New Oak Hill No. 6 Mine or Blue Bird No. 1 Mine.
