Speaking of said map,

WV>

I believe the routing through Lobata was first. This '28 map shows the route
already disconnected and why would they run it 80% of the distance without
connecting? I'm pretty sure this is the place Gordon Hamilton showed us on
the way home from Williamson.

There was a question about one week ago concerning track arrangements at two
locations in WV.  Didn't save the item.  Was looking at map sources tonight
trying to answer my own question about Matewan and remembered one source
which I don't think has been noted in the group.  Try either maptech.com or
historic.maptech.com.  Limited number of old USGS maps; found some pre -1900
maps for something I'm doing in NJ.  Didn't help me with Matewan, though;
only available map is 1928.
