Quadrangle
Maps and Directories located in McDonough County |
| These
selected 7.5-minute quadrangle maps are available online as PDF
versions and show active and abandoned mines and their known extent
on a topographic map base which includes township, range, and section
lines and surface features such as roads, towns, lakes, and rivers.
The mines are color-coded by mining method and the relative precision
and completeness of the source map used for the mine boundary are
indicated. Scale 1:24,000. Accompanying each map is a directory
that gives a brief history of mining on the quadrangle and lists
for each mine the location of mine opening and tipples; the name,
thickness, and depth of seams mined; production history; geologic
problems reported; company names; mine names and numbers; type of
mine; years operated; coal seam mined; and mine location.
