Each bar pair represents one producing county. Left bar = start year, right bar = end year.

Notes

Bar height is square-root scaled (bar area proportional to value). Scroll to zoom, drag to pan. Hover a county to see exact values. Production is measured in short tons. No data is present for Alaska and Hawaii.

Data Sources

County-level coal production data are drawn from the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) Annual Coal Report (Form EIA-7A), which covers all active U.S. coal mines annually from 2001 to 2024. Records are aggregated from mine level to county level by five-digit FIPS code. Surface and underground mines are tracked separately; refuse-recovery mines are included in the total only.
