Mining in the Ottawa Quadrangle

Coal mines in the Ottawa area were usually small in size. The seam mined was the Colchester Coal, which ranged between 2.0 and 2.5 feet in thickness at most locations. The Colchester Coal was relatively shallow in this area, which allowed for the coal to be stripped or worked as drift mines. The coal was sometimes mined in conjunction with the related underclay and used to fire the clay products produced, the clay tiles or brick being the primary product being produced.
