1963 Map of Man
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Guyandotte River flows through the northeast corner of this map, anchoring the town of Man and the residential area of Hensley Heights during the early 1960s. This region of the West Virginia coalfields is defined by a dense network of industrial activity, where numerous mines, mine dumps, and tipples are tucked into narrow hollows along Island Creek and Rockhouse Creek. The rail-dependent economy is evident in the presence of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, which services small coal settlements like Stirrat, Sarah Ann, and Superior Bottom. Family history is deeply rooted in the terrain, with several small burial grounds such as Hatfield Cem and Ellis Cem situated on the hillsides. The southern portion of the quadrangle shows the boundary between Logan Co and Mingo Co, marked by prominent landmarks like Horsepen Mtn and the Mingo Lookout Tower.
