1997 Map of Oak Hill
USGS Topo · Published 2001About this map
Oak Hill and Mount Hope anchor this 1997 photo-revision of a Fayette County industrial landscape, where the coal-mining heritage of the New River Gorge region remains visible through features like the Tipple Mine Dump and numerous air shafts. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valley floors and ridgelines, with clusters at Glen Jean, Scarbro, and Minden connected by the CSX Transportation rail lines. Family and local history is preserved in sites like the High Lawn Mem Park and Odd Fellows Cem, alongside community landmarks such as Collins High Sch and White Oak Church. To the west, the Plum Orchard State Wildlife Management Area and the waters of Plum Orchard Lake offer a distinct shift from the dense urban and mining corridors, illustrating the complex geography of this Appalachian plateau.
