USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
Shinnston sits at the heart of this industrial landscape along the West Fork River, where the heavy infrastructure of the mid-20th-century coal and energy economy is clearly visible. The map documents a dense network of extraction and transport, from the Baltimore and Ohio railroad lines to the Williams Mine and various Strip Mines surrounding Prospect Valley. Significant industrial landmarks include a large Powerplant near Haywood and a Filtration Plant serving the river valley communities.
