1968 Map of Keen Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
Keen Mountain defines this central portion of the Appalachian coalfields, where the industrial landscape of the late 1960s is etched into every hollow and ridge. The Norfolk and Western railway threads through the valley of Dismal Creek, serving a dense network of extraction sites including several labeled Strip Mines, Tipples, and an Air Shaft. These operations exist alongside long-established mountain communities such as Pilgrims Knob and Grimsleyville, where local life centered on the Bethany Ch and small rural institutions like Contrary Sch.
