USGS Topo · Published 1976About this map
Kanawha River industrial activity and deep hollow coal mining define this mid-1960s landscape south of Charleston. Along the river, settlements like Marmet, Chesapeake, and Belle are linked by the Chesapeake and Ohio and Penn Central railroads, highlighting the area's role as a transportation corridor. The map reveals the intricate network of mining operations tucked into the hills, with numerous tipples and mines scattered through Wolfpen Hollow, Sawmill Hollow, and Winifrede Hollow.
