The Little Coal River and Big Coal River carve deep, serpentine valleys through this coal-bearing region of Boone and Lincoln Counties. The landscape is defined by its industrial geography, where the Chesapeake and Ohio and Coal River Railroad tracks follow the water level to serve remote mines and settlements. Small communities like Julian, Adams, and Horse Creek Junction are tightly packed into the narrow river bottoms, surrounded by steep ridges such as Pinnacle Rock.
