1996 Map of Logan
USGS Topo · Published 2002About this map
The Guyandotte River carves a deep, winding path through the center of this landscape, its banks lined with the tight-knit coal and rail communities of Logan, Stollings, and McConnell. This 1996 survey reflects an era of intensive land use, where the traditional valley settlements are hemmed in by steep slopes and significant Strip Mine activity on the high ridges. The map captures the dense cultural footprint of the Island Creek drainage, showing a string of towns like Monaville and Rossmore that follow the narrow corridor of the creek. Genealogists will find numerous small landmarks, including the Sunbeam Chapel, Gore Cem, and Mullens Cem. The industrial character of the region is evident in the network of conveyors and air shafts supporting mining operations near Rita and Earling, while the high elevation at Rattlesnake Knob offers a perspective on the area's complex topography.
