About this map

Cherry Pond Mountain and Guyandot Mountain dominate this landscape, where the coal-country economy follows the deep valleys of the Little Coal River and its tributaries. The Chesapeake and Ohio RR snakes along the watercourses, serving established mining and timber communities such as Whitesville, Red Dragon, and Montcoal. This 1928 revision by G.E.Sisson documents a network of rural education, identifying many family-named schools like Bothwell Sch, Mooney Sch, and Canevwood Sch that served these hollows before the consolidation of the late 20th century. The intricate topography reveals how the rugged terrain dictated settlement patterns, with towns like Wharton and Barrett clustered tightly in the narrow floodplains of the Pond Fork.
