ILLINOIS - Association of Missouri Geologists
ILLINOIS 150 ILLINOIS Known as the prairie State, ILLINOIS exhibits a length of 378 miles and a width of 210 miles, with its 56,000 sq. mi. sloping slightly to the southwest. Containing more than 275 rivers, the state is bounded along of its circumference by navigable waters, primarily the Ohio and Mississippi rivers. The highest elevations are the Mounds along the northern borders, rising only to a altitude of 900 to 1,000 feet above sea level. Though well endowed with fossils, ILLINOIS has little to offer gem and mineral collectors, even though the state produces more sandstone, silica sand and Fluorspar than any other state in America. Most specimen collecting is done in the Lead-Zinc mining dists. of northwestern ILLINOIS , the glacial drift of the Late Pleistocene Wisconsin glaciation, the bluffs and detritus of the Ohio and Mississippi rivers, and in the southern Fluorspar region.
