1968 Map of Lorado

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Lorado and the surrounding coal camps of the Buffalo Creek valley appear here as they were during the late 1960s, a period marked by extensive industrial activity and mountain-top modification. This West Virginia landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of the mining industry, with numerous Strip Mines, Mine Dumps, and Tailings Ponds concentrated along the ridges of Spring Mountain and Crook Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors, where the Buffalo Creek drainage supports tight-knit communities like Pardee, Saunders, and Craneco.
