Kincaid Quadrangle
Mining in the Kincaid Quadrangle
Mining in this quadrangle took place in the Herrin Coal. Since the seam ranged from 300 to over 400 feet deep, development here began a little later than at nearby towns. The earliest mine was Peabody No. 7 Mine (mine index 2040), which opened in 1912. Mining was continuous until Peabody No. 10 Mine (mine index 693) closed in 1994. The accompanying map shows what may have been the largest obstacle to mining for the planning engineers – the sandstone channels that eroded the coal and made nearby roof conditions troublesome.
