Description:

Thank you to all who bought my photo books "Exploring Appalachia's Coalfields" and "Exploring the Rust Belt." They are now out-of-print.All original content copyright 2001-2020 by Chris DellaMeaEmail me: coalcampusa "at" yahoo "dot" comIf you "borrow" pictures created by me from this website then please credit either "coalcampusa.com" or "Chris DellaMea" when you use the image. The rest of the images aren't mine. Thank you.Thanks to all who viewed the exhibit of 25 of my photographs at the National Slovak Society Museum in McMurray; then at the Coal and Coke Heritage Center in Uniontown;and finally at the Windber Coal Heritage Center near Johnstown. The display has ended.Click here to see where Coalcampusa has taken photos in Google Earth (Google Earth must be already opened on your computer.)This is a map I made several years ago allowing a tourist to see much of the Appalachian Coalfield using U.S. Route 119. I don't know if all of the features that I delineated are still in existence, though. But they were at the time.TABLE OF CONTENTSSOUTHERN WEST VIRGINIAWINDING GULF COALFIELDAffinity, Alpoca, Covel, Eccles, Fireco, Glen Rogers,Coal camps Along Winding Gulf Creek: Big Stick, Helen, Hotcoal, Woodbay, and Ury (Cooktown);Itmann, McAlpin, Mead (Vanwood), Mullens, Pemberton, Rhodell, Sabine, Slab Fork, Tralee, Coal camps along Stonecoal Creek: Besoco, East Gulf, Lego, Lillybrook;Stotesbury, Tams, Whitby, Abney, Winding Gulf, Wyco, Glen White, Misc. coal camps: Mead Poca, Stephenson, Sullivan, AbneyNEW RIVER COALFIELDAmes, Ansted, Beury, Brooklyn, Caperton, Carlisle (Oakwood), Claremont, Cranberry, Derryhale, Elverton, Fayette, Fire Creek, Glen Jean, Greenwood, Harvey, Kaymoor, Kilsyth, Klondyke/Dunloup, Laurel Creek, Layland, Lochgelly, Lookout, Mabscott, MacDonald,Minden, Mount Hope, Nuttalburg, Price Hill, Prince, Prudence, Quinnimont, Raleigh, Scarbro, Sewell, Skelton, Sprague, Stanaford, Stone Cliff, Summerlee, Sun, Red Ash, Rush Run, Terry, Thayer, Thurmond, Turkey Knob, Weirwood, Whipple, Wickham, Winona, and McKendree RoadFLAT TOP-POCAHONTAS COALFIELDAlgoma, Algonquin, Amonate, Arista, Ashland, Bearwallow, Berwind, Bishop, Bradshaw, Bramwell, Canebrake, Capels, Caretta, Carswell, Coalwood, Coopers, Crumpler, Crystal, Cucumber, Dott, Elbert, Elkhorn, Filbert, Freeman, Gary, Gary No. 12 (Anawalt), Giatto, Gilliam, Goodwill, Hemphill, Hiawatha, Jenkinjones, Keystone, Kimball, Kyle, Leckie, Lamar, Landgraff (or Landgraaf), Maitland, Matoaka,Maybeury, McComas, Northfork, Pageton, Piedmont, Powhatan, Ream, Six, Springton, Superor, Switchback,Thorpe, Twin Branch, Upland, Venus, Vivian, Warriormine, Welch, Worth, YukonKANAWHA-COAL RIVER COALFIELDAmeagle, Barrett, Beards Fork, Black Betsy, Boomer, Burnwell, Cameo, Cannelton, Carbondale, Clinton, Clothier, Collinsdale, Decota, Dorothy, Eckman, Eunice, Garrison, Gordon, Harewood, High Coal, Jodie, Kimberly, Kingston, Leewood, Longacre, Mahan, Milburn, Montcoal, Nellis, Orgas, Powellton, Prenter, Raven-Peerless, Red Warrior, Ronda, Rumble, Standard, Stickney, Wharton, Widen, Danville Train Yard, and Catherine Tipple (Muddelty)GREENBRIER COALFIELDAnjean, Beelick Knob, Bellburn, Bellwood, Beurytown, Clearco, Crichton, Duo, Humoco, Leslie, Marfrance, Quinwood, LOGAN COALFIELDAmherstdale, Coal Mountain, Holden, Kopperston, Dehue, Earling, Emmett, Henlawson, Hutchinson, Latrobe, Lorado, Lundale, Lyburn, Lynco, Mallory, Marianna, Monaville, Omar, Rossmore, Stirrat, Taplin, Wilkinson, Wyoming ,and Peach Creek rail yard WILLIAMSON COALFIELD Borderland, Chattaroy, Cinderella, East Lynn, Lenore, Litwar, Matewan, Panther, Ragland, Rawl, Red Jacket, Stonecoal, ThackerNORTHERN WEST VIRGINIAFAIRMONT-PHILLIPI COALFIELDCentury, Galloway, Rosemont, Dawmont, Osage, Richard, Cascade, Everttsvile, Dakota, Grant Town, Barrackville, Idamay, Monongah, Four States, Hutchinson, Owings, Pursglove,Jere, Bretz (Elkins Coal & Coke coke ovens), Jamison No. 8 and 9, plus Federal No. 2 and Humphrey No. 7 minePANHANDLE COALFIELDWindsor Heights, Triadelphia, Cliftonville, Virginville (Louise Mine),Shoemaker mineELKINS COALFIELDNorton, Coalton, Harding, Parcoal, Adrian, Red Rock, Burnsville Train Yard UPPER POTOMAC COALFIELDThomas, Coketon, PierceCONNELLSVILLE COALFIELDAdelaide, Alverton, Baggaley, Bessemer, Bitner, Calumet, Carpentertown, Coalbrook, Continental No. 2, Collier, Continental No. 3 (Newcomer), Grace, Hecla No. 1 (Southwest), Hope, Humphreys, Leisenring No. 1, Leisenring No. 2 (Bute),Leisenring No. 3 (Monarch), Lemont Furnace, Mammoth, McClure, Morewood, Oliphant Furnace, Oliver, Owensdale, Phillips, Revere, Shoaf, Standard, Tarrs, Trauger, United, Valley, Whitney, Wynn, Youngstown KLONDIKE COALFIELDAllison No. 2, Allison, Bobtown, Briar Hill, Braden, Buffington, Burson, Crucible, Crystal, Grindstone, Daiseytown, Edenborn, Filbert, Footedale, Gates, Griffin, Hoover, Isabella, Lambert, Leckrone, Marianna, Mather, Maxwell, Moffitt-Sterling, Nemacolin, Orient, Outcrop, Pittgas, Poland Mine,Ralph, Republic, Richeyville, Rose Mine (Rosedale), Rowes Run, Searights, Shamrock, Star Junction, Thompson No. 1, Thompson No. 2, Tower Hill No. 2, Vestaburg and LaBelle Prep Plant, Vesta No. 6 (Denbo), Williamstown, plus Dillworth, Karen, Emerald, and Robena mines.PITTSBURGH COALFIELDAcme Mines (Bentleyville), Arnold City, Atlasburg, Aurora Mine, Avella, Blaine, Catsburg, Cherry Valley, Cokeburg, Coverdale, Curry, Ellsworth, Essen, Francis, Gibson, Hazel Kirk, Hendersonville, Horning, Imperial, Jacob's Creek,Linclon Hill, Manifold, Montour No. 2, Montour No. 4, Montour No. 9, Montour No. 10 (Library), Moon Run, Morris Mine, Muse, Ontario, Palanka (Midland), Pgh.

STAY OFF OF THE PROPERTY OF ACTIVE MINES. THEY ALL HAVE GUARDS WHO WILL RUN YOU OFF. ALSO, IT'S DANGEROUS, SEEING AS HOW YOU PROBABLY WON'T BE WEARING A HARDHAT AND METATARSALS. 2. BE CAREFUL OF TRESPASSING. JUST BECAUSE A MINE IS CLOSED DOESN'T MEAN NO ONE OWNS IT. 3. THE RESIDENTS OF THESE MINING TOWNS MAY NOT APPRECIATE YOUR "INTRUSION." BE PREPARED TO EXPLAIN YOURSELF.4. THERE AREN'T MANY RESTAURANTS IN COAL TOWNS. EAT AND GAS UP BEFORE YOU 5. SOME ROADS ARE UNSUITABLE FOR LUXURY AUTOMOBILES. A FEW ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ANY AUTOMOBILE. YOUR GPS NAVIGATION WON'T TELL YOU THIS. 6. I WOULD STRONGLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM ENTERING AN ABANDONED DEEP MINE. THE TIMBERS ARE PROBABLY ROTTEN AND THE ROOF WILL PROBABLY FALL ON YOU. IF YOU SURVIVE YOU WILL PROBABLY BE HANDICAPPED FOR LIFE. JEFF WRITES IN TO SUGGEST ANOTHER REASON NOT TO ENTER ABANDONED MINES: BLACKDAMP, A DEADLY LOW OXYGEN CONDITION THAT OCCURS WHEN ORGANIC MATERIAL OXIDIZES IN A RELATIVELY CLOSED CONDITION. THE TIMBERS AND THE REMAINING COAL EAT UP THE AVAILABLE OXYGEN IN CERTAIN CONDITIONS. BESIDES BEING DANGEROUS, THERE'S PROBABLY NOTHING INTERSETING DOWN THERE. NOTE: I'VE NEVER HAD ANY OF THESE PROBLEMS.This is another website I created about 78 rpm records.
