USGS Topo · Published 1991About this map
The Tug Fork carves a winding path along the Kentucky and West Virginia border, anchoring a landscape defined by its coal-mining infrastructure and tight valley settlements. At the bend of the river, Matewan sits opposite Buskirk and McCarr, serving as a focal point for the region's industrial activity. Evidence of the extractive economy is visible in the extensive Strip Mine operations that crown the ridges and the Norfolk and Western railway lines that track the river's edge.
