Final The map stated “Final” although the survey date would indicate it showed the extent of the mine only 3 years after opening. The source map was very faint and difficult to read. An original copy of the microfilm map was found at the Vermilion County Clerk’s office, and no later date was noted on the more legible copy. The mined area shown on the accompanying map is the approximate size expected for the production reported. This suggests that the mine outline is complete.
