1902 Map of Raleigh
USGS Topo · Published 1910About this map
Coal and commerce drive the landscape along the Chesapeake & Ohio RR at the turn of the century, where the river-level settlements of Thurmond and Quinnimont serve as vital hubs for the surrounding plateaus. The map details a dense network of mining and rail towns like Glenjean, Macdonald, and Mount Hope, which flourished as the New River Gorge and its tributaries were developed for resource extraction. Along the winding course of the New River, numerous small stops such as Beury, Echo, and Fire Creek are positioned between the steep canyon walls and the upland ridges.
