Notes
- ↑ The name shown on the map source is Bradley Mine, presumably the owner/operator of Quality Coal Company. The tonnage required to mine the approximate area shown by the map could be obtained from by including the Bradley & Scullin No. 1 Mine, which operated from 1922 to 1924. However, it seems unlikely that this mine was idled for more than 10 years before reopening as Quality Coal Company in 1933, and the intervening operators are unknown.
