1963 Map of Holden
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Guyan River and the winding Island Creek drainage define the rugged topography of this coal-country map, where narrow valleys dictate the layout of industrial and residential life. Major mining operations are evident through numerous strip mines and mine dumps that mark the hillsides, particularly near Holden and Verdunville. The infrastructure of the coal economy is clear, following the Chesapeake and Ohio rail lines as they thread through hollows to reach dozens of small settlements like Whitman Junction, Thompson Town, and Shamrock.
