Notes
- ↑ Mine notes report this mine worked the Danville Coal. A source map indicates this mine may have worked a different seam. Because of this uncertainty, this mine is shown on the accompanying map in an unknown seam.
- ↑ Production after map date
- ↑ 3.0 3.1 The base map fits correctly at this scale, but the workings seem too large. This mine may have been drafted onto a mis-scaled basemap, as the area shown is approximately 3 times the size expected for this mine.
