1963 Map of Wharncliffe

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Tug Fork carves a serpentine path through the Central Appalachian coalfields, forming a natural boundary where West Virginia meets Kentucky and Virginia. This area is defined by its deep creek valleys and the Norfolk and Western railway, which follows the river's bends to serve mining operations and the scattered settlements of the hollows. Small communities like Wharncliffe and War Eagle are clustered near the tracks and riverbank, while the upland reaches of Stafford Mountain and Sandy Ridge are marked by extensive mines and ridgeline infrastructure like a prominent pipeline.
