What kind of site this is
ORE · ASBESTOSBENCHESSECTION · ILLUSTRATIVE

Drawn as an open-pit mine, dug down in benches from the surface. The ore color stands for asbestos. Federal records note the kind of operation and its status, not its depth or layout, so this is a typical example rather than a survey of this site.
