1968 Map of Pilot Knob

USGS Topo · Published 1989

About this map

Cherry Pond Mountain and Cook Mountain dominate this landscape, where the coal industry's footprint is woven into the steep topography of southern West Virginia. The 1968 field survey, updated with late-1980s data, reveals the intensive resource extraction along the Pond Fork and Marsh Fork drainages, marked by numerous strip mines, a tipple, and a tailings pond. The company town of Kopperston sits at the southern edge, while smaller settlements like Petty Bottom and Shumate appear in the northern hollows.
