1965 Map of Sylvester
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
The Big Coal River snakes through the heart of the Sherman district in Boone County, defining the industrial and social layout of this coal-mining corridor. Following the river's winding path, the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad serves as the primary artery connecting a string of small settlements and mining operations, from Seth and Kirbyton in the north down to Prenter and Sylvester in the south. The hillsides are heavily marked by strip mines, particularly in the Cabin Creek Mines area, where the terrain reflects decades of extraction.
