1965 Map of Dorothy

About this map

Kayford Mountain dominates the central topography of this mid-1960s survey, where the borders of Boone, Raleigh, Kanawha, and Fayette counties converge. The rugged landscape is defined by the narrow valleys of the Clear Fork, Marsh Fork River, and Coal River, which serve as the primary corridors for settlement and industry. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the winding path of the Clear Fork, connecting coal-town communities like Dorothy, Colcord, and Ameagle.
