1912 Map of Gilbert

About this map

Guyandot River winds through a deeply dissected landscape at the intersection of Mingo, Logan, and Wyoming counties during the early twentieth century. The settlement of Gilbert serves as a central hub where Gilbert Creek meets the river, while the Norfolk and Western RR tracks follow the southern boundary along Tug Fork, connecting industrial outposts like Wharncliffe, War Eagle, and Glenalum Junc. The map reveals a coal-country topography defined by steep ridges and narrow hollows, such as Buffalo Mountain and Alum Creek Mountain.
