		<useconst>The accuracy of the WPA Maps is known to be poor. Locations of coal seam outcrops, elevations, wells, and mining extents are approximate.
The WPA maps should only be used as a reference source, and no engineering project should be solely based on these maps. 

The accuracy of the information has not been verified by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, 
and the Commonwealth disclaims any responsibility for actions, or the lack thereof, taken in reliance to the provided information. 
The user agrees that neither the Commonwealth, nor its employees, officers, agents, or contractors will be liable for any damages or losses of any kind resulting directly or indirectly from the use of, or reliance on, the information contained herein.

All mining shown on the WPA Maps is assumed to have taken place ‘Prior to 1935’. The WPA Maps were laid out based on the 15’ USGS Topographic Quadrangles, consisting of nine (9) 5' sections.

The lower right corner of the WPA Maps includes the sheet name and coal seam covered by the sheet.
The latitude and longitude of each corner of the WPA Map is shown. 
The adjacent WPA Map is listed at each corner and mid way along each edge.

The contour lines on the WPA Maps indicate the elevation of the coal seam in feet “above sea level”. 
The coal seam outcrop is shown using a heavy black line. 
The outcrop is the point where the coal seam elevation and the surface elevation are equal.
The speckled areas on the maps indicate completely mined out areas. 
The symbol that looks like a ladder indicates a mined out area where passage ways ("Mains") were first developed. 
Clear areas, which are inside the outcrop, were not mined as of 1935. 
Occasionally mine names and operator names appear around the mined out areas, however clear mine boundaries are not shown.
Oil and gas wells are shown on the maps as star-like symbols.
