1952 Map of Fork Mountain

About this map

The extractive industries of the Cumberland Plateau dominate this mid-century survey, where the New River and Smoky Creek drain a landscape heavily marked by coal production. Industrial footprints are evident at Moores Camp (Devonia PO) and throughout the многочисленные Strip Mines that scar the ridges of Stallion Mountain and Bird Mountain. The human geography of the era is anchored by small settlements like Mahan Village and Hembree, while a dismantled railway and an old railroad grade near Little Brimstone Creek trace the path of former timber or coal hauling lines.
