1927 Map of Iaeger

About this map

Tug Fork and Dry Fork define the movement of goods and people through this mountain landscape at the border of West Virginia and Virginia. The Norfolk and Western RR winds along the riverbanks, connecting industrial points like Krollitz, Litwar, and the hub at Iaeger. This era shows a high density of rural institutions serving the coal and timber regions, including the Bee Run Church and more than twenty neighborhood schoolhouses such as McKinley School, Trap Fork School, and High Knob School.
