I included the river because the bends in the river helped me correlate this map with a current satellite image. The end of the EJ&E spur off the EJ&E branch going south through coal country was Wilmington Star #7. The tipple in the middle was #5. The dates for #7 was 1904-26.
1918 Morris Quad @ 62,500
