1:24000The map has no scale and does not show the mine workings. It is basically a sketch of information similar to a plat book, with the town of Lowell (shown on the La Salle Quadrangle, in 9-T32N-R2E), the Vermilion River, a cemetery and a few roads. The landowners controlled an 80 acre segment, and a rudimentary legend indicated 4 acres were mined.
