INTRODUCTION
Coal has been mined in 76 counties of Illinois. More than 7,400 coal mines have operated since
commercial mining began in Illinois about 1810; fewer than 30 are currently active. To detail the extent
and location of coal mining in Illinois, the Illinois State Geological Survey (ISGS) has compiled maps and
directories of known coal mines. The ISGS offers maps at a scale of 1:100,000 and accompanying
directories for each county in which coal mining is known to have occurred. Maps at a scale of 1:24,000
and accompanying directories, such as this, are available for selected quadrangles. Contact the ISGS for
a list of these quadrangles.
These larger scale maps show the approximate positions of mines in relation to surface features such as
roads and water bodies, and indicate the mining method used and the accuracy of the mine boundaries.
The maps are useful for locating mine boundaries relative to specific properties and for assessing the
potential for subsidence in an area. Mine boundaries compiled from final mine surveys are generally
shown within 200 feet of their true position. As a result of poor cartographic quality and inaccuracies in the
original mine surveys, boundaries of some older mines may be mislocated on the map by 500 feet or
more. Original mine maps should be consulted in situations that require precise delineation of mine
boundaries or internal workings of mined areas.
This directory serves as a key to the accompanying mine map and provides basic information on the coal
mines in the quadrangle. The directory is composed of two parts. Part I explains the symbols and
patterns used on the accompanying map and the summary data presented for each mine. Part II
numerically lists the mines in the quadrangle and summarizes the geology and production history of each
mine. Total production for the mine, not the portion in the quadrangle, is given.
MINING IN THE CARBONDALE QUADRANGLE
Mining mostly took place in the Murphysboro Coal southeast of Carbondale. The Tarter, Mt. Rorah and
Wise Ridge Coals were also present in this area, and in some cases, these thinner coals were also mined.
A few companies surface-mined, but underground mining took place very early. The earliest known mine
was that of Col. D. H. Brush (mine index 4631), who was operating in 1878, and may have mined as early
as 1865. The coals in this area were not so uniformly thick as near Murphysboro to the west or Herrin to
the east, so the mines were generally smaller, with lower production and less-extensive outlines, than the
mines in those areas. Surface mining was practical in this area, and several operators took advantage of
the shallow coal in this manner.

PART I EXPLANATION OF MAP AND MINE SUMMARY SHEET
INTERPRETING THE MAP
The map accompanying this directory shows the location of coal mines known to be present in the quadrangle. The
map, corresponding to a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 7.5-minute quadrangle, covers an area bounded by lines of
latitude and longitude 7.5-minutes apart. In Illinois, a quadrangle is approximately 6.5 miles east to west and 8.5
miles north to south, an area of about 56 square miles. The ISGS generally offers one map of mines per quadrangle.
In some areas where extensive mining occurred in two or more overlapping seams, separate maps are compiled for
mines in each seam to maintain readability of the map.
Mine Type and Mining Method
The mine type is indicated on the map by pattern color: green represents surface mines; red and yellow represent
underground mines. The red patterns are used for areas of underground mining that are documented by a primary or
secondary source map. A yellow pattern is used for cases where no map of the mine workings is available, but a
general area of mining can be inferred from property maps or production figures. The patterns indicate the main
mining methods used in underground mines. The methods are (1) room and pillar and (2) high extraction. The
method used gives some indication of the amount and pattern of coal extraction within each mined area, and has
some influence on the timing and type of subsidence that can occur over a mine.
The following discussion and illustrations of mining methods are based on Guither et al. (1984).
In room-and-pillar mines, coal is removed from haulage-ways (entries) and selected areas called rooms. Pillars of
unmined coal are left between the rooms to support the roof. Depending on the size of rooms and pillars, the amount
of coal removed from the production areas will range from 40% to 70%.
Room and Pillar - mining is divided into six categories:
• room-and-pillar basic (RPB, fig. 1A), an early method that did not follow a preset mining plan and therefore
resulted in very irregular designs;
• modified room and pillar (MRP, fig. 1B);
• room-and-pillar panel (RPP, fig. 1C);
• blind room and pillar (BRP, fig. 1D);
• checkerboard room and pillar (CRP, fig. 1E);
• room and pillar (RP), a classification used when the specific type of room-and-pillar mining is unknown.
Blind and checkerboard are the most common types of room-and-pillar mining used in Illinois today. The knowledge
of room-and-pillar mining methods gives a trained engineer information on the nature of subsidence that may occur.
A more extensive discussion of subsidence can be found in Bauer et al. (1993).
High-extraction These mining methods are subdivided into high-extraction retreat (HER, Fig 1F) and longwall (LW,
Fig 1G, 1H). In these methods, much of the coal is removed within well defined areas of the mine. Subsidence of the
surface above these areas occurs within weeks. Once the subsidence activity ceases, the potential for further
movement over these areas is low; however, subsidence may continue for several years after mining.
High-extraction retreat mining is a form of room-and-pillar mining that extracts most of the coal. Rooms and pillars
are developed in the panels, and the pillars are then systematically removed (fig. 1F).
In early (pre-1960) longwall mines, mining advanced in multiple directions from a central shaft
(fig. 1G). Large pillars of coal were left around the shaft, but all coal was removed beyond these pillars. Miners
placed rock and wooden props and cribs in the mined-out areas to support the mine roof. The overlying rock
gradually settled onto these supports, thus producing subsidence at the surface. In post-1959 longwall mines, roomand-pillar methods have been used to develop the main entries of the mine and panel areas. Modern longwall
methods extract 100 percent of the coal in the panel areas (fig. 1H).

process of compiling and digitizing the quadrangle map may produce errors of less than 200 feet in the location of
mine boundaries. Larger errors of 500 feet or more are possible for mines that have incomplete or inaccurate source
maps.
Because of the extreme complexity of some mine maps, detailed features of mined areas have been omitted. The
digitized mine boundary includes the exterior boundary of all rooms or entries that were at least 80 feet wide or
protruded 500 feet from the main mining area. Unmined areas between mines are shown if they are at least 80 feet
wide; unmined blocks of coal within mines are shown if they are at least 400 feet on each side. Original source maps
should be consulted when precise information on mine boundaries or interior features is needed.
The mine summary sheet lists the source maps used to determine each mine outline. The completeness of map
sources is indicated on the map by a line symbol at the mine boundary. Source maps are organized in five
categories.
Final mine map The mine outline was digitized from an original map made from mine surveys conducted within a
few months after production ceased. The date of the map and the last reported production are listed on the summary
sheet.
Not a final map The mine is currently active or the mine outline was made from a map based on mine surveys
conducted more than few months before production ceased. This implies the actual mined-out area is probably larger
than the outline on the map. The mine summary sheet indicated the dates of source maps and the last reported
production, as well as the approximate tonnage mined between these two dates (if the mine is abandoned). The
summary sheet also lists the approximate acreage mined since the date of the map and, in some cases, indicates the
area where additional mining may have taken place. This latter information is determined by locating on the map the
active faces relative to probable boundaries of the mine property.
Undated map The source map was undated, so it may or may not be based on a final mine survey. When
sufficient data are available, the probable acreage of the mined area is estimated from reported production, average
seam thickness and a recovery rate comparable to other mines in the area. This information is listed in the summary
sheet for the mine.
Incomplete map The source map did not show the entire mine. The summary sheet indicates the missing part of
the mine map and the acreage of the unmapped area, which is estimated from the amount of coal known to have
been produced from the mine.
Secondary source map The original mine map was not found so the outline shown was determined from
secondary sources (e.g., outlines from small-scale regional maps published in other reports). The summary sheet
describes the secondary sources.
POINTS AND LABELS
The locations of all known mine openings (shafts, slopes, and drifts) and surface mine tipples are plotted on the map.
Tipples are areas where coal was cleaned, stockpiled, and loaded for shipping.
Only openings or tipples are plotted for mines without source maps. If the precise locations of these features are
unknown, a special symbol is used to indicate the approximate location of the mine.
Each mine on the map is labeled with the names of the mine and operating company, ISGS mine index number, and
years of operation (if known) if space permits. A seam designation is given on maps where more than one seam was
mined. For a mine that operated under more than one name, only the most recent name is generally given. When a
mine changed names or ownership shortly before closing, an earlier name is listed. All company and mine names are
listed on the mine summary sheet in the directory, under the production history segment.
3
INTERPRETING A MINE SUMMARY SHEET
The mine summary sheet is arranged numerically by mine index
number. Index numbers are shown on the map and in the mine listing.
The mine summary sheet provides the following information (if
available).
Company and mine name The last company or owner of the mine is
used, unless no production was recorded for the last owner. In that
case, the penultimate owner is listed. Mines often have no specific
name; in these cases, the company name is also used as the mine
name.
Type Underground denotes a subsurface mine in which the coal was
reached through a shaft, slope, or a drift entry. Surface denotes a
surface, open pit or strip mine.
Total mined-out acreage shown The total acreage of the mined
area mapped, including any acreage mined on adjacent quadrangles,
is calculated from the digitized outline of the mine. The acreage of
large barrier pillars depicted on the map is excluded from the mined-out
acreage. Small pillars not digitized are included in the acreage
calculation. If the mine outline is not based on a final mine map, the
acreage is followed by an estimate of additional acres that may have
been mined. The estimate is determined from reported mine
production, approximate thickness of the coal, and recovery rates
calculated from nearby mines that used similar mining methods.
SHAFT, SLOPE, DRIFT OR TIPPLE LOCATIONS
Figure 2 Generalized stratigraphic
section, showing approximate vertical
relations of coals in Illinois.
Shaft, slope, drift, or tipple locations Locations of all known former
entry points to underground mines or the location of coal cleaning,
tipple, and shipping equipment used by the mine’s facility are listed.
The location is described in terms of county, township and range (TwpRge), section, and location within the section by quarters. NE SW NW,
for instance, would describe the location in the northeast quarter of the
southwest quarter of the northwest quarter. When sections are
irregular in size, the quarters remain the same size and are oriented (or
“registered”) from the southeast corner of the section. Approximate
footage from the section lines (FEL = from east line, FNL = from north
line, for example) is given when that information is known; this
indicates a surveyed location and is not derived from maps. Entry
points are also plotted on the map and coded for the type of entry or
tipple. A mine opening may have had many purposes during the life of
the mine. Old hoist shafts are often later used for air and escape
shafts; this information is included in the directory when known. The
tipple for underground mines was generally located near the main shaft
or slope. At surface mines, coal was sometimes hauled to a central
tipple several miles from the mine pit.
GEOLOGY
Seam(s) mined The name of the coal seam(s) mined is listed, if known. If multiple seams were mined, they are all
listed, although the mined-out area for each seam may be shown on separate maps. Figure 2 shows the stratigraphic
section of the coal-bearing interval in Illinois, and the vertical relations among the coals.
Depth The depth to the top of the seam in the vicinity of the shaft is listed, if known. The depth is determined from
notes made by geologists who visited the mine during its operation or from drill hole data in ISGS files. Depth
generally varies little over the extent of a mine; however, reported depths for an individual mine may vary. Depth for
surface-mined coals varies, and is usually represented as a range.
6
Thickness The approximate thickness of the mined seam is shown, if known. Thickness also comes from notes of
geologists who visited the mine during its operation or from borehole data in ISGS files. Minimum, maximum, and
average thicknesses are given when this information is available.
Mining method The principal mining method used at the mine (figs. 1A-H) is listed. See the mining methods
section at the beginning of this directory for a discussion of this parameter.
Geologic problems reported Any known geologic problems, such as faults, water seepage, floor heaving, and
unstable roof, encountered in the mine are reported. This information is from notes made by ISGS geologists who
visited the mine, or from reports by mine inspectors published by the Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals, or
from the source map(s). Geologic problems are not reported for active mines.
PRODUCTION HISTORY
Production history Tons of coal produced from the mine by each mine owner are totaled. When the source map
used for the mine outline is not a final mine map, the tonnage produced since the date of the map is identified. For
mines that extend into adjacent quadrangles, the tonnage reported includes areas mined in adjacent quadrangles.
SOURCE OF DATA
Source map This section lists information about the map(s) used to compile the mine outline and the locations of
tipples and mine openings. In some cases more than one source map was used. For example, a map drawn before
the mine closed may provide better information on original areas of the mine than a later map. When more than one
map was used, the bibliography section explains what information was taken from each source.
Date The date of the most recent mine survey listed on the source map is reported.
Original scale The original scale of the source map is listed. Many maps are photo-reductions and are no longer at
their original scale. The original scale gives some indication of the level of detail of the mine outline and the accuracy
of the mine boundary relative to surface features. Generally, the larger the scale, the greater the accuracy and detail
of the mine map. Mine outlines taken from source maps at scales smaller than 1:24,000 may be highly generalized
and may well be inaccurately located with respect to surface features.
Digitized scale The scale of the digitized map is reported. The scale may be different from that of the original
source map. In many cases the digitized map was made from a photo-reduction of the original source map, or the
source map was not in a condition suitable for digitizing and the mine boundaries were transferred to another base
map.
Map type Source maps are classified into five categories to indicate the probable completeness of the map. See
discussion of source maps in the previous section.
Annotated bibliography Sources that provide information about the mine are listed, with the data taken from each
source. Some commonly used sources are described below. Full bibliographic references are given for all other
sources. Unless otherwise noted, all sources are available for public inspection at the ISGS.
Coal Reports Published since 1881, these reports contain tabular data on mine ownership, production, employment,
and accidents. Some volumes include short descriptions made by mine inspectors of physical features and
conditions in selected mines.
Directory of Illinois Coal Mines This source is a compilation of basic data about Illinois coal mines, originally
gathered by ISGS staff in the early 1950s. Sources used for this directory are undocumented, but they are primarily
Illinois Department of Mines and Minerals annual reports, ISGS mine notes, and coal company officials.

Mine notes ISGS geologists have visited mines or contacted mine officials throughout the state since the early
1900s. Notes made during these visits range from brief descriptions of the mine location to long narratives (including
sketches) of mining conditions and geology.
Federal Land Bank of St. Louis, Preliminary Reports on Subsidence Investigations Mining engineers working for the
Federal Land Bank of St. Louis mapped areas of subsidence due to coal mining in the early 1930s. These reports
often include county maps of mine properties with mined-out areas including shaft locations, as well as subsidence
areas.

Geologic Problems Reported: The roof was 3 to 12 inches of draw slate under fissile shale. The massive gray shale
roof held well and timbering was used for safety. A few small slips occurred in the coal, but did not appear to extend
into the roof or to make the roof unstable. The coal contained lenses of carbonaceous shale in the middle of the
seam. Pyrite lenses were also found, which were about 3 inches thick and 12 to 14 inches long. The underclay was
fairly hard but heaved when wet.

* Production not reported 1930-1933 for mines producing less than 1,000 tons per year. This mine was said to have
formerly been known as the Carter Mine, and the operating mine was visited in 1933 by M. W. Fuller. No other Carter
Mines were reported in Jackson County. O. K. Coal Company may have re-opened the long-abandoned Carter Mine
shown here, or there may have been an un-reported Carter Mine, circa 1930-1931. Bulletin 48, published in 1925,
placed a Carter Mine at this location, which tends to support the 1917-1919 Carter Mine being reopened by the O. K.
Mine later, rather than an unreported second Carter Mine.

time the 1878 History of Jackson County was written, but the opening year was not clear from the text. By the time
the 1880 Coal Report statistics were gathered, the mine was operated by Samuel T. Brush, the former mine manager.
The 1880 Coal Report indicated 4 acres had been mined. Production between 1881 and 1883 was not reported.

MINES WHOSE LOCATIONS ARE NOT KNOWN, CARBONDALE QUADRANGLE
The locations of the following mines are unknown, but the production tonnage, operating names, and
nearest town were reported in the Annual Coal Reports. The operators listed below mined in or near the
Carbondale Quadrangle. The information shown is similar to that presented on the summary sheets in the
previous pages of this directory. The first item is the name the mine operated under as listed in the Coal
Report, then the years the mine reported. If no physical data are available, the next item listed is the total
tons produced by the mine. If physical data are available, the order of presentation is as follows: type of
opening for the mine (drift, slope or shaft), depth of coal in feet, and thickness of coal in feet.
The total tons mined by these unlocated mines is 1,146,075 (800,063 underground, 257,489 surface
mined and 88,523 mined by uncertain method), which would represent approximately 140 to 430 acres,
depending on the recovery factor, mining method, and numerous other factors. (Note: 1 square mile =
640 acres)
