1968 Map of Keen Mountain
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The extractive industrial landscape of the Buchanan Co coalfields is documented here in the late 1960s, showing a terrain defined by extensive Strip Mine operations. The Norfolk and Western railway follows the winding path of the Levisa Fork, serving the coal tipples and mines that anchor local communities like Keen Mountain and Grimsleyville. This period of development shows the tight relationship between the region's steep topography and its mining economy, with settlements and roads clustered in narrow gaps such as Shortt Gap and Bill Young Gap.
