Notes

  1. The location shown is mined by Peabody No. 1 Mine (mine index 4026). The Herrin Coal could have been mined if Thomas came in and re-mined the pillars left behind. Two other mines shown at this location were incorrectly located and in the Herrin Coal; this mine may not be in the location shown.
  2. Point plotted onto 1:24,000 USGS quadrangle and digitized.
