Notes
- ↑ The boundary between O’Gara No. 14 Mine (mine index 128) and Harrisburg No. 4 Mine could not be distinguished, and the acreage shown is for both mines. Harrisburg No. 4 Mine also mined some pillars in O’Gara No. 14, and Harrisburg No. 2 Mine (mine index 3320) surface-mined the southern part of the underground works.
- ↑ Not shown on accompanying map because of later surface mining.
- ↑ Point plotted onto 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle and digitized.
