The Big Vein

The Big Vein refers to a 14-foot thick seam of bituminous coal discovered in the Georges Creek Valley of Western Maryland in the early 19th century. This coal vein became famous for its clean-burning low sulfur content that made it ideal for powering ocean steamers, river boats, locomotives, steam mills, and machines shops. By 1850, almost 30 coal companies were mining the valley, producing over 60 million tons of coal between 1854 to 1891.
