Mary
Lee Mine
1906
Map
This
is a detail from an 1906 USGS map and is far more detailed than the previous
maps. Of interest is that there is no branch line to the north of Five
Mile Creek.
This
shows the general location of the mines, a mine "camp" village, and
most likely battery coke ovens along the Stout's Road.
At
this point it is not clear whether there were several mine openings in the area
or not. Nor is it clear where any mine slope was located.
The
key feature here is the curve of the RR line next to the word "Mary"
as this can be followed clearly in newer maps.
