1918 Map of Williamson

USGS Topo · Published 1918

About this map

Williamson and its neighboring coal-country settlements line the banks of the Tug Fork river, which serves as the winding boundary between Kentucky and West Virginia. This 1918 edition, based on surveys from 1909 and 1915, documents the industrial landscape dominated by the Norfolk and Western RR as it snakes through the valley connecting Nolan, Chattaroy, and East Williamson. The surrounding ridges, including portions of Hardee and Lee, are dissected by numerous creeks and hollows where small rural schools like Hammon Manor School and Dicks Fork School once served isolated mountain communities.
