1962 Map of Ranger

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

The Guyandotte River carves a deep path through the dissected plateau of Lincoln and Wayne Counties, serving as the primary corridor for both the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad and the concentrated settlements of Ranger, Atenville, and Harts. This landscape is defined by its narrow hollows and numerous family-named landmarks, such as Saunders Cem, Hatfield Cem, and Brumfield Cem, which offer a clear window into the genealogical fabric of these valley communities. High points like Marin Knob, topped with a Lookout Tower, provide vantage points over the dense network of drainage systems including Fourteenmile Creek and Little Harts Creek. The map documents a rural infrastructure of local education and faith, evidenced by the distribution of Montana Ch, Sias Sch, and Harts High Sch along the winding river road and tucked-away forks.
