Norfolk and Western rail lines anchor this 1910 survey of McDowell County, following the winding course of the Tug Fork through a landscape defined by deep-cut hollows and steep ridges. The settlement of Iaeger serves as a central hub where the rail network converges with numerous mountain branches, including Johnnycake Br and Negro Branch. The map captures the industrial and logistical framework of the southern West Virginia coalfields before large-scale modernization, showing a world connected by rail and small post offices.
