I'm living literally over and slightly north of the oldest coal mining
site in the USA. Very little study has been done. What I'd like to see
is a 1 ft contour survey of the "mountains of the moon" area to get a
handle on which are the oldest from their layout and overlaps. These
started at least by 1651 and went into the 1930's by all the various
means of extraction. Our little area had 3500 people working in them and
their domiciles are unknown! We've also got some very intersting
African-American land ownership patterns down on the river after the
Huguenots left.
