Greetings-

The map that was too big a file to post to enviro-mich is at 
http://www.sagady.com/stuff/redjacketwvmines.jpg.

Here, again, is the relevant text:

The purple stippled pattern shows strip mines.  Note the ringed 
pattern surrounding the hill whose summit is 2031 feet in the western 
part of the map.  There is most likely valuable coal still left under 
that summit and above the uppermost strip mine.  Removing the 
"country rock" (mostly sandstone and shale) above that strip mine 
would enable them to get to that coal more easily.  Likewise, some of 
the lower coal seams (represented by lower strip mines) might be 
candidates as well.
