Mining in the Dahlgren Quadrangle

The Opdyke Coal was close to the surface in the Dahlgren Quadrangle, usually less than 40 feet deep. Although the coal was thin, rarely reaching 4 feet thick, it was economic to mine by stripping off the overburden. Mining ceased in 1979, when the Eads Mine (mine index 917) closed.
