1915 Map of Regina

About this map

Pine Mountain anchors the southern boundary of this 1915 survey, where the rugged terrain of Pike County meets the Virginia state line. This era captures the critical industrial infrastructure of the Central Appalachian coalfields, defined by the winding paths of the Levisa Fork and Russell Fork. The presence of the Chesapeake and Ohio and Clinchfield and Russell Fork railroads highlights the region's role as a vital transportation corridor for natural resources. Numerous dual-named settlements like Shelby Shelbiana PO, The Forks Millard PO, and Elkhorn City Praise PO reflect a landscape of evolving post offices and rail stops. To the south, the Allegheny Mine and the dramatic geological formation known as The Breaks mark the transition into the steep ridges and deep hollows of the Cumberland Plateau.
