These maps give one an idea of the condition of the the ground under us and the amazing extent of mining that's gone on here. The earliest of the mines shown here were worked starting around 80 some years preceding the late 70's when this map was made. All these open to large size.
There are only a few above ground reference points shown but I think there are enough to orient one as to what is seen. 
Mather Collieries, solid line at right points north. They did not mine north of the town but to the south the mine went almost to State Route 21.
This shows the area from the river roughly south to Charmichaels
