Notes

↑ The location was vague, with the references on the microfilm being three “boundary lines” that do not appear to be section segments, and a stream. Although stream configuration can change greatly over time, and the course of the stream appears exaggerated, it is likely to be Coal Creek in the quarter-section shown above. The air shaft is southeast of the slope, but is not shown on the accompanying map because of the uncertainty of the slope position.
↑ The slope location was plotted on a 1:24000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description (section 5 and in relation to a segment of Coal Creek shown on the microfilm) and digitized. The outline was not used because the location is too uncertain. Stream courses are usually sketched and not surveyed, and the stream segment may not be as shown on the microfilm map.
