The source map had been folded and was quite fragile; these folds may lead to distortions in the mine outline. Also, due to the delicate condition of the source map, the mylar was not taped to the source map, and this may lead to further distortions of the mine outline. The tracing was a composite of a 1918 map with an earlier map (1914), which contained more of the old works than the 1918 map.
