Notes

  1. No production was recorded under this name in the annual Coal Reports. The mine was apparently behind Glasmeyer’s farmstead, but the operator is unknown. The years of operation are unknown, but must have been several years before the mine was noted by T. Root in 1922.
  2. Point plotted onto 1:24,000 USGS topographic map and digitized.
