New! We have added a Community Resource Mapping theme and totally revamped the maps that appear in each theme. Thanks to over a dozen volunteers and the West Virginia Humanities Council for making this possible.
Journey Up Coal River
To get started, either click one of the theme tiles to the right, or explore the watershed map. Each tile links to a different theme within the site; once inside a theme, use the sidebar to move between its articles.
Journey Up Coal River is an interactive mapping project that combines music, audio, photography and the written word to tell the story of the Coal River Valley, West Virginia. The companion CD, Still Moving Mountains: The Journey Home, features additional music and interviews with contributions from Kathy Mattea, The Del McCoury Band and many others.
