1996 Map of Holden
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
Holden and the surrounding hollows of Logan County define this coal-country landscape in the late 1990s. The region's industrial character is clear through the extensive Mine railroads and numerous Strip Mine sites that weave through the ridges. Communities like Whitman, Shamrock, and Verdunville are tightly packed along the narrow valley floors of Island Creek and Mud Fk. This survey serves as a vital record for genealogists, documenting family landmarks such as the Farrar Cem, Baisden Cem, and Mounts Cem. Notable local landmarks include the Whitman Sch and the Coal Miners Chapel, which reflect the social fabric of these mining towns. To the north, the protected lands of Chief Logan State Park offer a contrast to the heavily worked terrain of the southern coal branches near Omar.
