The rugged coal and timber lands of Nicholas County are defined by deep-cut stream valleys and emerging energy infrastructure in this mid-century survey. Central to the map is the settlement of Gilboa, situated at a key crossroads between Peters Creek and Buck Garden Creek. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's extraction history, showing numerous Strip Mines and scattered Gas Wells throughout the Grant and Summersville districts. In the southeast, the creation of Summersville Lake has significantly altered the terrain along the Gauley River watershed, with areas marked for controlled inundation near McClung Branch.
