About this map

The Little Coal River serves as the primary artery of commerce and settlement in this 1931 survey of the coal and timber country surrounding Madison and Danville. The rugged landscape is punctuated by numerous hollows and knobs, while the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad snakes through the valleys, piercing the ridges at Pinnacle Tunnel and Blue Son Tunnel. This network was critical for moving coal from the nearby fields to the industrial centers of the Kanawha valley.
