Levisa Fork winds through a deeply dissected landscape in Buchanan County, defining the early 1960s industrial and social geography of this coal-producing region. The Norfolk and Western railroad tracks trace the river's edge, serving the numerous strip mines and mine dumps that dominate the mountain slopes. This map captures the integration of mining operations into the rural valley communities, where long conveyor systems bridge the distance between mountain pits and the rail lines below.
