The Tygart Valley River and the winding Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor define the geography of Taylor County in the mid-20th century. This area is characterized by rural coal and clay extraction, evident in the numerous strip mines, kilns, and a clay pit located near Thornton. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys and ridges, with established communities like Blueville, Knottsville, and Evansville serving as local hubs.
