Notes

↑ connected underground to Peabody No. 2 (mine index 4028) and Peabody No. 3 (mine index 60). Boundaries between the mines could not be differentiated.
↑ Not shown on accompanying map due to later removal by surface mining.
↑ Not shown on accompanying map due to later removal by surface mining.
↑ Possible location for this air shaft. See Wilkinson Coal Company (mine index 6557) for more information.
↑ Generally the name Peabody would not be considered the final mine name because of the lack of known production. In this case, the mine extent is known through Peabody Coal Company maps, and mining may have occurred under the Peabody name and been reported under Peabody No. 2 Mine’s (mine index 4028) production, since the mines are contiguous.
