Notes

  1. The Illinois Coal Reports never listed the Snow Hill Coal Company. All production must have been listed in Indiana. Indiana’s mine database also indicates Peabody Coal Company may have owned the mine; contact the Indiana Geological Survey for more information (Indiana Mine Index number 800242).
  2. The map may be final; the last day of production is not known.
