1910 Map of Bald Knob

About this map

Boone County and its neighboring territories of Raleigh and Logan are defined by a complex network of waterways and ridges in this 1910 survey. The drainage systems of the West Fork and Pond Fork converge to form the Coal River, a primary geographic artery through the district. This landscape is partitioned into significant civil divisions including Sherman, Washington, and Triadelphia, reflecting the political organization of the era. The terrain is dominated by the imposing Guyandot Mountain and the deep incisions of the Marsh Fork and Clear Fork. As an advance sheet, this map focuses heavily on the natural topography and political boundaries of the West Virginia coalfields before the intensive industrial development of later decades, providing a baseline for researchers studying the original landforms and early township lines of Logan and its surroundings.
