USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The growing city of Beckley anchors this 1969 survey, showing the urban expansion of the southern West Virginia coalfields during the late sixties. The map documents a complex landscape where residential development in Sprague and East Beckley meets industrial operations, evidenced by several Strip Mine sites and Industrial Waste Ponds to the north and east. The city's role as a regional service hub is clear through the presence of institutions like Beckley College, the VA Hospital, and the Pinecrest Sanitarium.
