Our Survey coal map person suggested the following:

National Mine Map Repository. All of the coal mine maps we've scanned here in Indiana are available through this repository (as well as our website). Here is some info from their website.

Office of Surface Mining's National Mine Map Repository: The National Mine Map Repository is part of the U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement.  It is a facility that provides and stores in microfilm more than 134,000 abandoned-mine maps. The repository contains maps from the 1860s to the present day. It serves as a point of reference for mine maps and other information for both surface and underground mines throughout the United States. It also serves as a location to retrieve mine maps in an emergency. To learn more, go to http://mmr.osmre.gov/.

Subject: [Geonet] USGS Coal Maps: digitized versions?

A student wants digitized versions of all 146+ USGS coal maps.  He
hasn't yet gone through the entire list in the USGS pubs warehouse to
see what's online (we've found at least one), but I don't think there
will be many.

Before he scans our paper copies, I told him I'd ask if anyone out there
has already done the work, and is willing to share.

Please let us know if you're aware of any source for digitized
versions.  (And apologies for cross-posting).

                   Thanks.
