1928 Map of Matewan
USGS Topo · Published 1940About this map
The Tug Fork carves a winding path through this portion of the Central Appalachian coalfields, serving as the border between West Virginia and Kentucky during a period of intense industrial activity. The Norfolk and Western railroad follows the river's tight bends, connecting coal-producing centers like Matewan and Thacker to the wider economy. The landscape is defined by its deep, narrow valleys where operations such as Puritan Mines and Thacker Mines were established, surrounded by numerous company-affiliated settlements and local schools including Red Jacket Sch and Elk Sch.
