Notes
- ↑ The Swofford No. 3 Mine was not listed in the Coal Reports. The production was probably sold from the tipple of the No. 1 (mine index 2502) or No. 2 (mine index 602) Mines, and recorded as production from one of those mines.
- ↑ The mine location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
