This is the most western point of the Meigs Creek coal in northern 
Athens county. 
The coal is found at Fr. Sec. 2, and Sec. 13, Bern township. At 
Fr. Sec. 2, it is reported 4 feet thick, and at Section 13 only 18 inches. 
At the latter place it is 119 feet above the Pittsburgh coal. 
Athens township, Athens county, has the Meigs Creek coal in 
N. E. + Section 4, but it is near the hill-tops, and the area of good coal

The Meigs Creek coal is found through most of Canaan township

waters of Willow Creek. It here was 30” thick; nv partings noted. 
A few feet under the coal is found, through this township and on Long

to find the Meigs Creek coal thick enough to mine. 
The coal is well shown in a branch of Big Run, near the north side 
of Section 12, and in Section 18, Rome township, the coal is 125 feet 
above Federal Creek, and shows an outcrop 5 feet thick.

Meigs Creek coal, although the Pittsburgh seam is found throughout 
the eastern part of the township.

but nothing of it seen in the southern part. On Chas. Brown’s farm
