1968 Map of Welch
USGS Topo · Published 1977About this map
Welch serves as the industrial and civic heart of this McDowell County landscape, where the Tug Fork and Elkhorn Creek converge. The topography is defined by the extensive operations of the Norfolk and Western railway, which snakes through narrow valleys to serve numerous coal-related sites like Havaco, Superior, and Kimball. The map reveals a dense network of mountain-side infrastructure, including the Stevens Clinic Hospital, the Welch Municipal Airport, and several Strip Mines that mark the ridges of Indian Ridge and Belcher Mountain.
