Logan serves as the focal point for this survey of the northern coalfields of West Virginia, where the C and O railway network dictates the pattern of development. The topography is defined by the steep divides of Buffalo Mtn and heights like Godby Knob, with settlements like Clothier, Sharples, and Accoville following the narrow valley floors. The landscape reflects the industrial expansion of the early twentieth century, as rail spurs from the Chesapeake and Ohio reach deep into drainages like Peach Creek and Rum Creek to serve local coal operations. This map records the precise boundary lines between Boone and Logan counties, providing a clear view of the winding Guyandotte River before later urbanization altered many of these valley-bottom communities.
