The heavy industrial footprint of the Illinois coalfields is evident in this mid-1930s survey of the St. Clair County area. Mining operations such as the Ruby Mine, Taylor Mine, and the St Ellen Mine are linked to a dense rail network including the Baltimore and Ohio RR and Illinois Terminal RR. This industrial development contrasts with the established residential grids of Belleville and O'Fallon, which serve as the primary urban anchors.
