Extensive industrial and mining activity defines this region of the Tygart Valley River in the late 1960s, where the extraction of coal has significantly reshaped the terrain. Numerous strip mines and strip mine operations are scattered across the landscape, particularly surrounding the settlements of Junior, Norton, and Harding. The economic reliance on these resources is physically manifested through infrastructure like the tipple at Norton, an industrial conveyor near the river, and the network of the Baltimore and Ohio and Maryland and Western River railroads.
