USGS Topo · Published 1989About this map
The New River Gorge National River defines the landscape of this 1960s survey, illustrating a deep river canyon carved through the plateau. At the center of this industrial corridor lies Thurmond, a vital rail hub where 3 Tracks navigate the narrow riverbanks. This era captures the intensive coal and mineral extraction that shaped Fayette County, visible through a dense network of strip mines, mine dumps, and several conveyor tipples used for loading materials from the heights of Garden Ground Mountain down to the rail lines.
