Book Description
Excerpt from The Coal Resources, and General Geology of the Pound Quadrangle in Virginia The Pound quadrangle includes parts of Pike and Letcher counties, Kentucky, and Wise and Dickenson counties, Virginia. It is located a few miles northwest of the Toms Creek coal field, in the territory between the great Pocahontas coal field on the northeast and the Big Stone Gap field on the southwest. Until recently the region was entirely undeveloped and little information concerning it was available. It has not, however, escaped the attention of coal operators, and some of the largest corpora tions have been acquiring lands in this region with a view to active development. Within the last three years railroad communication with the outside world has been established, and on the Kentucky Side fourteen shipping mines are in active operation. On the Virginia side only one large mine has been operated, but doubtless others will be established in the near future. The number of coal beds in the quadrangle is probably greater than elsewhere in the Appalachian coal field, and in the thickness and extent of its beds the area will compare favorably with most others in that field. These factors, combined with the excellent quality of the coal, insure the area a prominent place among the future fuel-producing centers of the Appalachian province. The geologic examination of the Virginia portion of the Pound quad rangle was carried on in 1911 jointly by the Virginia Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey. The United States Geological Survey had charge of all field work, but it was ably assisted by men and money supplied by the Virginia Geological Survey. An accurate contoured topographic map of the quadrangle was made and this will be ready for distribution as soon as it is engraved.
