About this map

The West Fork River valley serves as the industrial and social corridor for this portion of Harrison and Marion counties at the start of the 1960s. The landscape is defined by the convergence of heavy rail and coal extraction, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland railroads threading through narrow hollows to reach significant mining operations. Industrial features like the Pumping Station near Lumberport and the Filtration Plant at Shinnston anchor the riverfront, while the surrounding hills are marked by numerous Strip Mine sites and Mine Dump areas.
