About this map

The Clear Fork valley serves as the industrial and social heart of this West Virginia coal region, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad snakes along the water to service numerous mining operations. Dense clusters of activity are concentrated at Dorothy, Ameagle, and Colcord, showcasing the late-twentieth-century footprint of extraction culture. Higher elevations on Kayford Mountain and Coal River Mountain are heavily marked with extensive strip mines, conveyor systems, and mine dumps that have reshaped the traditional topography of the Appalachian plateau.
