1972 Map of Richwood
USGS Topo · Published 1975About this map
The industrial corridor of the Cherry River defines this portion of Nicholas County, where the B. & O. RR serves a string of mountain communities. Richwood stands as the primary hub, showing a dense concentration of civic infrastructure including an Armory, Milltown Sch, and the Gauley Ranger Station. The map captures the specialized geography of the timber and coal era, as rail lines follow the water through Fenwick and La Frank, while extensive Strip Mine operations and Mine Dump sites appear on the high ridges of Big Mountain and Williamsburg Mountain.
