1963 Map of Delbarton

About this map

Pigeon Creek and the Tug River define the industrial and residential corridors of Mingo County during this mid-century period. The map details the intensive coal mining infrastructure typical of the era, with prominent features like the Lando Mines, a Tipple near Lobata, and numerous Mine sites and conveyors etched into the steep hillsides. The Norfolk and Western railway follows the river bends, connecting significant coal towns like Red Jacket, Matewan, and Delbarton.
