Southern Coal Field Mine Sheet No. IX

This map covers the coal beds in Schuylkill Valley Basins, Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Includes a notation that no coal beds of the Lykens Valley Series are exposed in the Little Schuylkill gap south of Tamaqua. In the gap at Pottsville, eight small beds of this series are seen. The number and position of these beds is therefore uncertain. This map was constructed from the surveys of Alliance Coal Mining Company, Philadelphia and Coal Reading and Iron Company, and P.W. Sheafer Engineer of Mines.
