Notes

  1. The coal correlates to the Tarter Coal in western Illinois, and is approximately equivalent to the Lower Block Coal in Indiana and Coal 4a in western Kentucky.
  2. This could be D. Wilson of Herrin, 1923-1924, produced 237 tons or Roy Wilson of Marion, 1925-1925, produced 3,000 tons
  3. The mine location was plotted on a 1:24,000 USGS topographic map from the mine location description and digitized.
