1968 Map of Lorado
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Lorado and the surrounding mining settlements of the Triadelphia district define this landscape in the heart of West Virginia's coal country. Along the narrow valley of Buffalo Creek, rail lines of the Chesapeake and Ohio connect tight-knit communities like Lundale, Craneco, and Saunders. The terrain is characterized by steep ridges and deep hollows, with numerous strip mines and drill holes dotting the hillsides, reflecting the intense industrial activity of the late 1960s and 1970s.
