The Kanawha River carves a deep valley through the heart of the West Virginia coalfields, serving as the primary industrial corridor for settlements like Montgomery, Smithers, and Cannelton. This mid-1990s survey illustrates a landscape defined by the extraction economy and river navigation, with numerous Strip Mines and air shafts dotting the high ridges above the water. Along the riverbank, the CSX Transportation rail line and the London Lock & Dam No 3 facilitate the movement of resources through the valley.
