1971 Map of Pyramid Corners

About this map

Big Cabin Creek and its many tributaries, including Frazier Branch, McDonald Branch, and Whisky Branch, define the rural landscape of Craig County in the early 1970s. This survey captures a moment of active resource extraction, with significant Strip Mines operating in the northern sections and a Gravel Pit to the south. The small settlement at Pyramid Corners sits as a local anchor near the eastern edge of the sheet, while the surrounding countryside is marked by community landmarks like the Timber Hill Ch and Pleasant Valley Cem. The topography transitions from the open stretches of Cocklebur Flat to the distinct elevation of Timber Hill. A Gaging Station and Radio Tower point to the modern infrastructure supporting this agricultural and industrial corridor as it appeared during the 1971 field check.
