Notes
- ↑ The Coal Reports indicated this mine operated as a surface mine 1934-1936. It then operated as an underground mine from 1937 to close. The source map shows underground mining coming off of a highwall, which may also indicate that this mine operated as both a surface and then later an underground mine.
