Hi Cousins and all, Crab Orchard borders Beckley city limits on WV Route 16, Sophia is the next town and to get to Coal City turn off on to a small county road in Sophia. This road will go through Coal City and then on to Ghent. Now I don't mind letting any one know where a place is, but here is a very expensive way to check out the small towns and coal camps which are not on most highway maps. I have sets for Wyoming, Raleigh and Mercer Counties. I grew up in that "neck of the woods" but these maps help me find the places I remembered. Also, strip mining and logging work has destroyed a lot of the old roads we travel when I was a child. The best map I have came from the West Virginia Division of Highways Department in Charleston, WV. Now the Chamber of Commerce sends out a Beckley map with a Raleigh County map on the back, but the other ones has more detail. when I got mine (about 10 years ago) they were only $1.00 per sheet, but it is best to write first for the cost of the County map requested.
