1957 Map of Mammoth

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Extensive strip mining and coal infrastructure dominate the terrain of the Cabin Creek and Elk districts in this 1957 survey, later photorevised in 1976. The industrial footprint is evident through numerous strip mines, conveyor systems, and the Conrail line winding through the narrow valleys of the Blue Creek watershed. This industrial activity is woven into a landscape of small company settlements and hollow-dwelling communities, including Mammoth, Hitop, and Blakeley. Social life is anchored by local institutions like Missionary Ch, Spangler Sch, and various cemeteries tucked away on steep hillsides. Further north, the character shifts slightly towards recreation and rural outposts, evidenced by Camp Carlisle and Camp Galahad along the river loops. The map effectively documents the mid-century density of the West Virginia coalfields before later economic shifts changed the regional population pattern.
