The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor dictates the industrial and residential patterns of this Boone County landscape, following the winding course of Pond Fork through the narrow valleys of Crook Mountain. This late 1960s survey documents a sequence of coal-related settlements and rail junctions, from the northern hamlets of Lanta and Bigson down to the southern communities of Barrett and Clinton. The topographical concentration of life is evident as churches like Elizabeth Ch and local education centers such as Wharton Jr High Sch are tightly clustered near the tracks and riverbanks.
