Talk:Southeast Missouri Lead District

Geology
I have added some material about the geology of the Lead Belt. Jay Gregg 19:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Madison County
Madison County is not listed as part of the lead belt in this article. I thought that there was considerable early lead mining activity in that county, and that Fredericktown was a mining center. Indeed, Mine La Motte is in northern Madison County. I don't have any citations at my fingertips. Any ideas on why Madison was not included in this article? What about Ripley and Oregon counties? The article states that they have significant amounts of ore that is not currently being extracted. Does the "belt" only include areas of current and past mining activity, or does it encompass the extent of the deposits? I'm creating a new high quality SVG map to replace the GIF that is currently in the article, and I'd like to get it right the first time. (If anyone cares to point me to a GIS file with more exact boundaries than just counties, I'd be happy to use that as the basis of the new map.) --Kbh3rd talk  06:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Article name
You'll perhaps have noticed that I have moved this article to Southeast Missouri Lead District. That seems to be the most common name used in the papers I've stumbled across while researching the new map of subdistricts & modern mines that you may have also noticed in the article. I don't know who "officially" calls it the "Southeastern Missouri Mississippi Valley-type Mineral District", but that's a bit too much to bite off for the article name anyway. If it's an accurate statement, it could be bolded in the intro sentence, I suppose. --Kbh3rd talk 06:43, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Should the article title be capitalized throughout (Southeast Missouri lead district or Southeast Missouri Lead District)? poroubalous (talk) 13:21, 27 October 2011 (UTC)
