Map of the Anthracite Coal Fields in NEPA

I recently did a walk through of a house. Built in 1920 with a walk out basement, I was sure it was once set up for coal. It was and had a big ruble rock coal bin large enough to hold ~10 ton. In one of the closets I found a copy of the attached map. A lot of history in the this 1932 map.
Attached is a stitched together photo of the map. It's a ~2 mg file. If you download it and open it up, using the zoom option will get you into the detail the map holds. Each field is listed on the left side. A number in each column designates the mine/breaker/company/railroad which matches its location on the map. Interesting to see how much history that built this country has passed on in the 84 years since this map was made.
