1962 Map of Julian

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Little Coal River and Big Coal River anchor this topographic survey of the West Virginia coalfields where Boone, Kanawha, and Lincoln counties meet. The landscape is defined by the industrial and transport infrastructure of the mid-20th century, notably the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad lines that follow the river bends to service small communities like Julian, McCorkle, and Brounland. The map reveals the intricate human geography of the hollows, documenting numerous small mountain churches such as Pine Grove Ch and Morning Star Ch, alongside landmarks like the Blue Tom Tunnel and Pinnacle Tunnel. Extensive purple revisions from the 1970s highlight the expansion of surface mining, including a Strip Mine and Mine Dump, reflecting the region's evolving extractive economy alongside the Fork Creek State Public Hunting Area.
