Future Generations"
The National Mine Map Repository (NMMR) has recently added
the capability for the public to
search the index of
all mine maps in the collection. This new search
capability will permit the public and other customers to directly identify mine
maps in the collection. Additional search capabilities are planned in the future,
including the ability to perform a radius spatial search based on a zip code.
The Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSM) maintains two
mine map repositories, one in Green Tree, Pennsylvania, which collects and
maintains mine map information and images for all types of mining for the entire country, and one in
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, which maintains maps specific to the coal fields in the anthracite
coal region of northeastern Pennsylvania. The National Mine Map Repository is part of
the Technology Services Branch
of the Technical Support Division
in the Appalachian Regional Office of OSM. Some of the customers of
the NMMR include; government entities, realtors, land
developers, mining companies and homeowners. Many of the maps in the
repository are currently available in digital format and the repository is in the process
of scanning all the maps in the collection. The National Repository is always looking for additional
mine maps. Please contact us if you have mine maps that you would permit the Repository
to scan and add to the collection. All physical maps are returned to the owner.
