About this map

Guyandotte Mountain dominates the northern horizon of this Wyoming County landscape, where the Norfolk and Western railway winds through narrow valleys to serve the region's coal and gas industries. The late 1960s saw a mix of established mining infrastructure, including a Mine Tipple near Rockhouse Fork and various Strip Mines, alongside the developing recreation lands of Twin Falls State Park in the south.

Settlements like Glen Rogers, home to the Glen Rogers High Sch, and Ravencliff are tucked into the hollows, connected by the meandering Milam Fork and Slab Fork. Spiritual and community life is anchored by local landmarks such as Pinegrove Ch, Sweet Home Ch, and Friendship Ch. The map captures a moment of industrial transition, where numerous Gas Wells dot the ridges above older mining towns like McGraws and Saulsville.
