I think this mine was in the northwest quadrant of the intersection of Coal City Road and the original Center Street. I'm not surprised that I could not find any traces on a current satellite map because it has been closed for over 100 years. But I could not find the buildings on a 1918 topo map nor any trace on a 1939 aerial photo. And I could not find evidence of the other four tipples that are marked just north of Coal City Road. |
Things changed a lot in this area over the decades so each excerpt is the same area so that I can cmpare them. Specifically, the excerpts are from the Grundy-Will county line to Novy Road and from Coal City to Kennedy Roads.
