Mining in the Starved Rock Quadrangle

Coal mining in the Starved Rock Quadrangle took place mostly in surface mines that generally also mined clay for brick or tile making, or in small underground mines in the ravines draining into the Illinois River. The Colchester Coal was mined, along with its associated underclay. The coal was thin, often less than 2 feet, while the underclay was over 7 feet thick in many areas. The last mine operating here was the Hydraulic Press Brick Mine (mine index 2678), which closed in 1959.
