Tug River and its numerous mountain branches define this 1910 survey of McDowell County, capturing the region during a period of heavy rail expansion. The Norfolk and Western RR follows the winding river valley, connecting the established hubs of Iaeger and Panther. These rail lines were the lifeblood of the coal and timber economy, evidenced by the string of settlements like Ritter, Wilmore, and Avondale PO that grew along the tracks.
