Sorry about the lack of knowledge, but what is "chatts"?

I have a chart from 1957 that shows gravel on both mains from about MP 204 up 
to the east end of the Mississippi River Bridge.  The date of the gravel is not 
mentioned.  It was replaced with slag ballast in 1960.
 
West of the bridge to the Burlington depot was chatts on both mains, placed in 
1943.  I have another chart from 1967 that still shows chatts in 1943.  The 
area around the switches at Wood Tower was replaced with slag in 1960.

I’m looking for scans of the mainline alignment chart from
Illinois Jct. through Burlington and West Burlington to see what
mainline ballast was used circa 1950. If anyone has the charts but not scans, 
I’d
settle for a description of ballast type by milepost markers.
