The Big Coal River and its many winding tributaries define the landscape of this Coal River Valley map, where the deep-cut topography of the Appalachian Plateaus dictates the pattern of settlement and industry. Long established communities like Peytona and Racine follow the river bends, while smaller hamlets such as Ashford, Nellis, and Brushton occupy narrow hollows. The industrial character of the era is evident through the numerous strip mines and gas wells scattered across the ridges, and the presence of a Gaging Station and Compressor Station.
