COAL PRODUCTION IN OHIO--1800-1974

Coal is Ohio's most important mineral resource, and during the past 175 years over 2.7 billion tons of coal have been mined. This production has come from an approximate 30-county area of eastern Ohio, where both surface and underground mining methods have been employed. This report reviews Ohio's coal production by single counties during the 1800-1974 period, and examines the chemical characteristics of the Ohio coal and its importance to the economy of this state.
