Book Description
Excerpt from Report on the Coal Measures of Blount Mountain: With Map and Sections An exhaustive report cannot be predicated on an untested coal field. Mining at different points, on the different seams, sufficiently extensive, can alone expose their qualities and geological characteristics. This only source of positive knowledge has been, and is yet, almost wholly wanting in this coal field. When the geological examination of this region was made no mining was being done the seams which had been opened in former years, were abandoned, and the openings filled up, or caved in. Some of these were re opened, but others, and probably the most important, could not be, with the limited means at the disposal of the survey. Many new openings were made, and several seams of coal exposed, the existence of which had not been previously known. All of these will be referred to in their proper places in the details, and general description of the field.

COUNTY DETAILS. I. THE COAL MEASURES OF MADISON COUNTY. The Coal Measures of Madison county are confined to the tops of the higher mountains in the eastern half of the county to the east of the Hnutsville Meridian. These high mountains are nothing more than spurs and detached peaks of the western edge of the great table land of Tennessee or of the Cumberland Mountains. The detached peaks are connected together sometimes into mountain chains, sometimes into mountain groups and sometimes are isolated. The most prominent of these peaks have received distinct names. The spurs extend down from Tennessee. They occur along and near the Jackson county line in the northeast quarter of the county. The detached peaks in the mountain chains, etc., are to be found in the south-east quarter of the county. They extend as far west as the Huntsville mountain, Monte Sano. There are little mountains to the west of the Huntsville or Monte Sano mountain, but they do not have in or on them any Coal Measures. The Coal Measures of the Huntsville or Monte Sano chain of mountains are therefore the most western in Alabama north of the Tennessee River. The mountain chains and groups have spurs extending out from them with coves running up between these spurs and between the peaks. The mountains of this county are all due entirely to erosion and hence are mountains merely because the intervening parts have been washed away. The peculiar or remarkable features of these mountains are that they are flat, or have plateaus or level areas of table land on top that are bounded along the edges of the mountains by cliffs from 20 to 150 feet in perpendicular height. These level areas or Coal Measures are also scalloped and notched along the edges, and are sometimes cut entirely in two by deep coves extending ...
