1967 Map of War
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
War and the surrounding coal camps of McDowell County appear here in the late 1960s, showing a landscape deeply shaped by mining and rail transport. The Norfolk and Western railway threads through the narrow valleys, serving a string of industrial settlements including Bartley, English, Yukon, and Warriormine. Numerous labels for Mine Dumps, Strip Mines, and a Tipple reflect the intensive resource extraction of the era, while the rugged topography is punctuated by community centers like Mt Airy Ch and the recreation area around Lake Berwind. Further south, the map documents the smaller hamlets of Rift, Berwind, and Canebrake near the State Line Ridge, where the border with Virginia is defined by the high ground of Buchanan County.
