1993 Map of Coal City
USGS Topo · Published 1994About this map
Coal City and its neighboring clusters of Carbon Hill, Harrisonville, and Diamond anchor the southeastern portion of this landscape, reflecting a dense settlement pattern shaped by the region's industrial foundations. The Mazon River meanders northward toward the Illinois River, cutting through a terrain marked by extensive surface alterations and water-filled pits that hint at the area's coal-producing heritage. Large-scale conservation and water management dominate the northern half, where the Goose Lake Prairie State Park preserves a rare fragment of original tallgrass prairie adjacent to the massive Heidecke Lake. Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Holderman Cem and Faith Ch, while the transition from heavy industry to recreation is evident in the presence of the Heidecke State Fish And Wildlife Area and scattered mines.
