Big Creek LLC

  Big Creek, LLC was formed in early 2003 with the purchase of about 350 acres of quarry land (http://maplered.com) in the Stinesville District of the Indiana LimeStone (http://g603.net) Belt.

It is reported that the limeStone (http://g603.net) for the Indiana Soldiers and (http://maplered.com) Sailors Monument on Monument Circle in Indianapolis came from the Terre Haute Quarry which was immediately adjacent to Big Creeks¡¯ current quarry operations.
