1911 Map of Beckley

USGS Topo · Published 1911

About this map

Beckley and the industrial corridors of the southern West Virginia coalfields are captured here during a period of rapid development. The topography is dominated by the deeply incised gorge of the New River, where the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway snakes along the water's edge, connecting remote riverside settlements like Thayer and Claremont to the wider world. Inland, the landscape is a network of mining towns and company patches clustered along the drainage of Dunloup Creek, including Mount Hope, Scarbro, and Minden.
