1954 Map of Wharncliffe

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Tug Fork carves a sharp, winding boundary through the steep hills of the central Appalachians, marking the division between West Virginia and Kentucky in the mid-1950s. This survey focuses on a remote, topographically complex stretch where Mingo County meets Pike County and Buchanan County. The landscape is defined by its hollows, including Staggerweed Hol, Beech Hol, and Foundry Hol, which reflect the local naming traditions of these deep wooded valleys.
