EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a historical map from May 1886, depicting part of the remarkable Flat-top coal-field of Virginia and West Virginia. Created by the talented cartographer Jedediah Hotchkiss, this engraving provides a fascinating glimpse into America's industrial landscape during the 19th century. The map highlights the precise locations of two significant collieries: Pocahontas and Bluestone. These mines played an integral role in fueling the booming coal industry at that time. With meticulous detail, Hotchkiss accurately depicts Mercer County, Tazewell County, and McDowell County within this vast coalfield. As we delve into this piece of artistry, we are transported back to an era where coal mining was not only a vital source of energy but also a symbol of progress and economic growth for both Virginia and West Virginia. The intricate lines and markings on the map showcase the extensive network of underground tunnels that connected these collieries. Through this photo print, we gain insight into how industries shaped landscapes and communities during this transformative period in American history. It serves as a reminder of our nation's rich industrial heritage while honoring those who toiled tirelessly beneath the earth's surface to power our society forward.
