| Anmerkungen | Muß in den Litchfield im Montgomery County sein, da "The Litchfield discovery. The first oil field in Illinois was developed at Litchfield 15 miles southeast of here [= Carlinville]. In 1886 the Litchfield Gas, Oil, and Fuel Company was supplying gas to about 500 stoves in the town, but by 1889 the gas field was nearly exhausted. Litchfield, like other fields in small structures of Pennsylvanian sand stones, was a short-term, small producer. However, from 1879 until 1902 this field yielded the only gas and oil produced in Illinois" [Berggren: Guide to the geology of the Carlinville Area, Macoupin County, Illinois (1980) 9]. |
