May contain inconsistencies between county and coordinate information.
Complete as far as elements contained in original data source.
Mine points rarely coincided with USGS mine positions. When there were nearby points, there were within 100 - 200 meters of the USGS designated mines.

Line extending north and south on the surface of the earth between the two poles, and runs along the astronomical meridian. The principal meridian is the line from which the survey township boundaries along the parallels are initiated, and along which the township, section, quarter, and section corners are established.

A public land surveying unit. An approximately square area about six miles on a side with boundaries conforming to meridians and parallels within established limits. It is subdivided into 36 sections, some of which are designed to take up the convergence of the Meridians township boundary lines and accumulated measurement errors. The word township is used in conjunction with the appropriate range to indicate the coordinates of a particular township with references to the initial point.
American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Any series of contiguous townships situated north and south of each other; also, sections similarly situated within a township. Ranges of townships are numbered consecutively east and west from a principal meridian: thus "range 3 east" indicates the third range or row of townships to the east from a principal meridian.The word "range" is used in conjunction with the appropriate township with reference to the initial point; thus "township 14 north, range 3 east" indicates the particular township which is the 14th township north of the base-line an the 3rd township east of the principal meridian.
