1928 Map of Logan

About this map

Logan and the winding Guyandot River anchor this topographic survey, which reveals the industrial and social landscape of the West Virginia coalfields following a 1926 revision. The terrain is defined by a dense network of hollows and ridges, such as Godby Knob, where narrow valleys dictate the placement of settlements and infrastructure. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the river and its tributaries, serving numerous mining and timber communities including Aracoma, Peach Creek, and Ethel.
