Statewide map of coal mines licensed as of June 01, 1978. The purpose of the map is to provide insight into the Colorado coal industry. The map locates mines and lists them by county, coal mine number and name; also listed are the township and range location, geologic formation, coal thickness and type (rank), use, number of employees, and the 1977 annual production plus cumulative total production to June 1, 1976. This product updates MS-08 and OF-76-01, which contained production information to April 1, 1977 and January 1, 1976, respectively. MS-12 was subsequently updated and revised by MS-15 in 1981, MS-23 in 1984, RS-29 in 1989, and RS-32 in 1995-96. 1 plate (1:1,000,000). Digital PDF download. MS-12D
