About this map

The Guyandot River winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a network of coal and timber settlements that defined the region before the First World War. The county seat at Logan serves as the primary hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Stollings, McConnell, and Henlawson. This period shows the early influence of the And O RR, which follows the river and its major tributaries, including Dingess Run and Buffalo Creek, facilitating the growth of industrial outposts like Ethel and Clothier.

Tracing the complex topography reveals numerous family-named hollows and peaks, such as Godby Knob and Henry Hollow. In the northern portion, the Boone Co Logan Co boundary line cuts through the ridges near Manila and Havana. The map records a transition from traditional rural mill sites, like Pecks Mill, to the burgeoning rail-dependent economy emerging in districts like Chapmansville and Triadelphia.
