About this map

Fairmont sits at the confluence where the West Fork River and Tygart Valley River join to form the Monongahela River, a geography that defined the industrial growth of North Central West Virginia. This mid-century landscape is marked by the heavy infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which follows the river valleys and services numerous coal-related sites, including several Strip Mine operations scattered across Grant and Clay districts.
