USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The West Fork River valley serves as the industrial and social backbone of north-central West Virginia in this 1960 survey. Extensive coal mining and rail infrastructure dominate the landscape, with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad following the riverbanks to connect settlements like Shinnston and Enterprise. The map reveals a high density of small mining and company towns, including Four States, Carolina, and Idamay, which were essential to the region's extraction economy.
