Monks Mound Quadrangle
Mining in the Monks Mound Quadrangle
Mining in the Monks Mound Quadrangle began prior to 1874 and continued until 1958, and was exclusively in the Herrin Coal. No geologic problems were reported for the mines in this quadrangle, but the general characteristics of the Herrin Coal for this area probably prevailed - small slips and faults in the coal and roof materials and occasional coal balls in the roof. The mines were from 12 to 195 feet deep, and the Herrin Coal ranged from 3 to 7 feet thick, generally averaging between 5 and 6 feet.
The longest operating mine in this quadrangle was the Bunker Hill Mine (mine index 2767), which produced from 1911 to 1953.
