1968 Map of Wharton

USGS Topo · Published 1977

About this map

Pond Fork and the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor serve as the primary industrial artery through this section of Boone County during the late 1960s and 1970s. The landscape is defined by the extensive footprint of the coal and gas industries, with numerous gas wells, mine portals, and tailings ponds concentrated along the narrow hollows and steep ridges of Crook Mountain. Small coal-mining settlements like Wharton, Van, and Bob White are connected by the rail line and river, showing a dense pattern of company-era growth and localized infrastructure.
