This quarry shares a boundary with Central (G.P. Materials South) Quarry (which is directly to the south). Both quarries are extracting stone from the same formations, hence their identical mineral suites.

Please note that if you're parked at the entrance to the quarries, the sign for Central Quarry is north of the Washington County Aggregates Quarry. However, the "driveways" cross when you drive to the offices/quarries!
