1910 Map of Clay

About this map

The Elk River carves a winding path through the center of this 1908 survey, defining the industrial and social life of the central West Virginia hills. The river corridor serves as the primary artery for transportation, hosting the Coke and Coke RR which connects settlements like Elkhurst, Dundon, and the county seat at Clay. These narrow valleys supported a network of remote post offices and rural schools, such as Triplett School and Rosetta School, often situated at the confluence of rugged hollows and mountain forks.
