2023 Map of Racine
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
The Big Coal River carves a deep path through Boone County, anchoring the historical communities of Peytona and Racine. This 2023 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its coal-mining heritage and the rugged topography of the Appalachian Plateaus. The influence of the industry is visible in the presence of the Mechanics and Miners Cem near Bloomingrose, while the commercial transport corridor of CSX Transportation follows the river's winding course. To the north, the boundary between Kanawha Co and Boone Co cuts across the heavily dissected terrain of the Kanawha State Forest. Numerous family cemeteries, such as Javins Cem, Barker Cem, and Workman Cem, are scattered throughout the hollows and along the ridges, providing a detailed record for genealogists tracing the local lineage of settlements like Ashford and Nellis.
