| Andy Zukowski posted Standard Oil Company Mine 1-B Carlinville, Illinois" Photo by Bregstone PTV # 33. C1910 Paul Meier: If it is the one I think, it was just off the IT. Standard Oil also had a mine at Standard City in Macoupin Co. There were still some structures at that site there when I worked in Carlinville in '74-5. |

| Dennis DeBruler commented on Andy's post I'm glad you specified that it was Standard Oil. Otherwise, I would have assumed Index 69 instead of 187. https://wikiimage.isgs.illinois.edu/ilmines/webfiles/topo-mines/carlinville-west.pdf |

There were still some buildings in 1939.
