1969 Map of Corliss

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The Meadow River meanders across this landscape, carving a prominent oxbow known as The Loop at the convergence of Nicholas, Greenbrier, and Fayette Counties. The late 1960s industrial character of the region is evident in the numerous strip mines and drill holes dotting the ridges above Hickory Flat and Meadow Bluff. Small communities like Nutterville and Keester are situated along the high ground of Pine Ridge, while the southern reaches are dominated by the elevation of Sewell Mountain. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as the Minnie Bell Ch and Cemetery Hill Ch, along with a Lookout Tower on Sugargrove Knob. This survey captures a moment when resource extraction and rural settlement defined these West Virginia highlands, even as a Roadside Park near Charmee suggests the early influence of regional travel.
