Coal Camps Mapped

     I discovered Google Fusion which allows a quick way to map data on Google maps.  Because I wanted to experiment I mapped the various coal camps that were listed in last weeks assignment.  Here is my first attempt to do this.

     After completing this task. It made me realize how much Coal has effected especially the Southern part of the State.  I know that Coal Camp life was not idyllic, but it did create a strong sense of community.  One of the strengths and perhaps a weakness of Southern WV is this sense of community, in many cases almost  clannish in nature.
