Owtch! How do they shore up permafrost? Other than turning down the
thermostat. 

Maps are available from: https://sangamoncountyhistory.org/wp/?p=9911

The map is a small-scale reproduction of an Illinois State Geological 
Survey map showing the extent of underground coal mining in the two 
Springfield quadrangles, Springfield East and Springfield West. The 
original map can be found at the survey's Coal Mines Quadrangle Maps 
and Directories page; downloaded as a PDF and enlarged, the map becomes 
quite clear and readable.

The same is true of similar maps for the following quadrangles that 
take in parts of Sangamon County; all are available through the link.
