USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The growing coal and transportation hub of Beckley anchors this 1969 survey, reflecting the complex landscape of late-twentieth-century Raleigh County. The city center is dense with institutions like Beckley College, the VA Hospital, and the Woodrow Wilson High School, while the surrounding hills are marked by the extensive footprint of the extractive industry. Numerous strip mines dominate the terrain to the east toward Stanaford and Lanark, contrasted by established residential communities and landmarks like the Exhibition Mine.
