This set of maps was created by the WPA during the 1930's to show the locations of known underground coal mines. These maps are based on 15-minute topographic quadrangles, divided into nine sections. (For example, "Altoona 1" represents the northwest corner of the Altoona 15-minute quadrangle. "Altoona 9" represents the southeastern corner of the quadrangle. See the Index to the WPA bituminous coal mine maps.)
