1895 Map of Pocahontas
USGS Topo · Published 1927About this map
Norfolk and Western RR lines wind through the steep Appalachian valleys of this 1892 survey, revealing the early industrial infrastructure of the regional coalfields. The map highlights the concentration of mining-era settlements such as Pocahontas, Maybeury, Algoma, and Elkhorn, which thrived along the Tug Fork and Elkhorn Creek during the late nineteenth century. The transition from industrial rail corridors to the unique geological depressions of the south is marked by Burke Garden, a striking natural basin surrounded by Garden Mountain.
