Russellville Quadrangle

Mining in the Russellville Quadrangle

Only one mine is known in the Russellville Quadrangle, which worked the Bristol Hill Coal. The Alpha Mine (mine index 0966) operated for one month before disputes about the weight allowance on the county roads closed the mine in 1978. William Pritchard had surface-mined a nearby area about 20 years before the 1967 field work, but only 1 acre or less was mined for local use.
