About this map

Nallen and Russellville anchor the northeastern landscape where the Meadow River carves through the terrain, marking the intersection of Fayette, Nicholas, and Greenbrier counties. This 1969 survey reveals a region deeply defined by coal extraction, with numerous Strip Mine operations and individual sites like the Lookout Mine and Air Shaft Mine dotting the ridges. The extraction economy is supported by the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor following the river, while the local social fabric is preserved in landmarks such as the Old Stone House and several country churches including Bays Chapel and Chestnut Grove Ch.

High points along Nuttall Ridge and Sewell Mountain overlook a network of creek branches and small settlements like Winona and Clifftop. Genealogists will find value in the named cemeteries such as Tyree Cem and Amick Cem, which remain alongside the industrial infrastructure. The south includes a portion of Babcock State Park, showing the early development of recreational land amidst the working coalfields.
