Velké Vrbno Brachysyncline contains many individual graphite occurences (55 graphite claims at the turn of 19th/20th century), some of them economic in the past. Since their geological situation is the same, please do not subdivide this locality.

Existence of three other individual localities is justified:
- Branná graphite deposits are the same structure, but divided by large tectonics and in the different cadastre area
- Petříkov near Ostružná graphite deposit is the same structure, but in the different cadastre area
- Konstantin Quarry is in the same structure and cadastre area, but is was the only open-pit production in 20th century
