1963 Map of Webb

About this map

Tug Fork defines the border between West Virginia and Kentucky in this mid-century topographical study, serving as the primary corridor for both the Norfolk and Western railroad and local life. Small riverside communities such as Webb, Crum, and Kermit are situated along the winding riverbanks, where the valley floor provides the only level ground among the steep slopes of Wells Mountain and Bull Mountain. This era shows a landscape heavily dotted with gas wells, particularly concentrated around the Lick Fork and Moses Fork Ridge areas.
