Coal extraction and rugged topography define this 1967 survey of the border between Nicholas and Clay counties. The company town of Widen is a central focal point, showing the industrial infrastructure of the era including a Tipple, a Substation, and numerous Strip Mine operations carved into the hillsides. The landscape is a complex network of narrow hollows and high ridges like Powell Mountain and Browns Ridge, where small settlements like Wattsville and Dille cling to the limited level ground near Buffalo Creek.
