Map of Southwestern Indiana Showing Locations of Surface and Underground Coal Mines
Map Scale 1:400,000
The map shows the location and extent of surfaceand underground coal mines in southwestern Indiana.Most of the mined areas shown on this map wereadapted from information compiled by the Indiana Geological Survey (IGS) in the mid-1980s and published as the IGS Coal Map series. Original information collected for the Coal Maps was compiled from a variety of sources including AnnualState Geologists' Reports, mining company records,archived geologic reports, geologists' field notes,resource evaluation studies, and several series of published maps.
All mine data shown on this map were recompiled by IGS personnel as part of the Coal Mine InformationSystem (CMIS) project which is funded by theAbandoned Mine Lands program of the IndianaDepartment of Natural Resources, Division of Reclamation. Note that this map includes the addition of approximately 1,100 small, underground mines, not previously shown on the IGS Coal Maps.Most of these mines appear as tiny blue dots, and are predominantly located in Daviess, Dubois,Greene, Martin, Parke, Perry, and Spencer Counties. Most of these additional underground mines were mapped from mines shown on geologists' field mapsand Preliminary Coal Map series maps. This map also shows updated surface mine locations, including approximately 200 surface mine outlines not shown on the IGS Coal Maps. Updated surface minemaps were collected from the Division of Reclamation.
All mine data shown on this map are organized in aGeographic Information System (GIS) using ArcGIS software of the Environmental SystemsResearch Institute (ESRI) on the Windows platform. Scale of source maps ranges from 1:4,800 to1:100,000. All maps were digitized and thentransformed using coordinates generated from 1:24,000-scale U.S. Geological Survey 7.5-minutequadrangle maps.
Paper and digital copies of this map are available forpurchase through the Publication Sales Office ofthe Indiana Geological Survey, Indiana University.Requests for specific mine information should be directed to the Coal and Industrial Minerals Section, Indiana Geological Survey.

Data Availability
Map Description
This is a small-scale map and is intended to be used as adiagrammatic tool for showing the general distributionof mines in southwestern Indiana. The Indiana Geological Survey has more detailed published maps andinformation for all the Indiana counties underlain by coal resources. In addition, the IGS has a large repository of historic underground mine maps which show detailed mine workings.
Additional Information
Some mine locations are approximate and incomplete. Please provide additions/correctionsto Head, Coal and Industrial Minerals Section, Indiana Geological Survey.
This Miscellaneous Map was compiled by Indiana University, Indiana Geological Survey, using databelieved to be accurate; however, a margin of error is inherent in all maps.
