Notes

↑ The boundaries between separate mines could not be distinguished. The area shown includes Chicago, Wilmington and Vermilion Coal Company’s B Mine (mine index 3919), H Mine (mine index 3923), G Mine (mine index 3926), E Mine (mine index 3929) and C Mine (mine index 3931).
↑ This mine was not listed in the Coal Reports. The E Mine probably opened and closed before 1881, when the G Mine was the reported active mine. The 1873 Atlas of Will County shows the shaft for this mine, indicating that mining was taking place in the early 1870s.
