2014 Map of Montgomery

About this map

The Kanawha River serves as the central artery of this industrial landscape, where steep topography forces development into narrow corridors along the water. The city of Montgomery and its neighbor Smithers are connected by the Earl M Vickers Bridge, forming an urban hub surrounded by coal-country hollows and ridges. Numerous small settlements like Crescent, Eagle, and London line the riverbanks, illustrating the dense habitation patterns required by the local terrain. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Armstrong Mtn and a series of family-named hollows including Martin Hollow and Heslop Hollow. This 2014 survey documents the complex transportation network of Us-60 and WV-61 that navigates the winding river valley. Cultural history is preserved in sites like the Montgomery Memorial Cem and Mt Carbon Cem, providing valuable points of reference for local researchers.
