The Gauley River and New River converge at Gauley Bridge to form the Kanawha River, creating a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes and industrial transit. This 1928 revision documents the coal-driven economy of the New River Gorge, where settlements like Nuttallburg and Kaymoor cling to the steep riverbanks. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the winding water gaps, passing through the Blue Hole Tunnel near Cotton Hill.
