New River coal and rail history dominates this 1969 topographic study along the Raleigh and Fayette County border. The landscape is defined by the dramatic horseshoe bend at Stretcher Neck, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad snakes through the gorge, serving the communities of Prince, Quinnimont, and Royal. Industrial activity is evident in the numerous strip mines and Quarries carved into the high ridges of Backus Mountain and Bat Off Mountain.
