Mining in the Seneca Quadrangle

Mining in this quadrangle occurred primarily around the town of Seneca. The Colchester Coal was the primary seam mined, at a depth of 100 to 125 feet. This area lies within what has historically been known as the Longwall District. As the name implies, mining in this area was typically done using the longwall method of mining. The earliest mining began some time in the 1870s, and mining continued in Seneca until 1922, when the Seneca Coal Company mine closed (mine index 2706).
