The Kanawha River corridor defines the industrial and residential settlement of this region, winding through a steep valley lined with small communities and railway infrastructure. Towns such as Montgomery and Handley sit on the narrow riverbanks, while smaller settlements like Carbondale and Marting extend into the hollows. The presence of Wheeler Islands and several named hollows, including Graveyard Hollow and Dark Hollow, illustrates the challenging topography of the West Virginia coalfields.
