[Figure 1. Place and Direction From Which Figures 2 to 7 Were Taken and Relative Positions of Flooded Surface, Buried Valley of the Susquehanna, and Underlying Coal Measures and Mine Workings]

Map that accompanies a report issued by the U.S. Bureau of Mines regarding a buried valley area (a deposit of clay, sand, and gravel) around the Susquehanna River in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania, near the city of Wilkes-Barre. This map indicates the relative positions of mines and other coal storages locations referenced in the report along with flooded regions and underlying coal measurings and workings.

Figures 2-9: Barrier Pillars in the Western Middle Field: Anthracite Region of Pennsylvania

Maps illustrating an investigation of barrier pillars in the Western Middle field as part of the comprehensive study of mine-water problem in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania. Scale 1:4,500 feet. Included in the set is a graph (Figure 8) showing the relationships between pumping loads in the anthracite region of Pennsylvania with altitude on the x-axis and distance (in miles) from the Conowingo Portal on the y-axis. An explanation of the graph in Figure 8 (Figure 9) summarizes data from Bureau of Mines Technical Paper 727, Report of Investigations 4700, and Bulletin 513.

Coal Reserves of the Boltsfork Quadrangle, Kentucky: A Coal Recoverability Study (open access)

Coal Reserves of the Boltsfork Quadrangle, Kentucky: A Coal Recoverability Study

Abstract: "This report presents a U.S. Bureau of Mines study that incorporates coal mining factors, cola recovery factors, and economic factors into the definition of an economically recoverable coal resource. The relationship between these factors to the Energy Information Administration's estimate of U.S. coal resources--the "Demonstrated Reserve Base"--is discussed. The Boltsfork 7 1/2-minute quadrangle in eastern Kentucky was selected as the stud area. Results indicate that of the original 280.2 M tons of resource in the quadrangle, only 99.8 M tons (35.6%) is recoverable at a mining cost of $25 per ton or less" (p. 1).
