Superior, McDowell County: Dixon, Lake Superior Coal Company, and the Town Built by Coal

Appalachian Community Histories – Superior, McDowell County: Dixon, Lake Superior Coal Company, and the Town Built by Coal. A few miles east of Welch, where Elkhorn Creek winds between steep McDowell County mountains, the community of Superior grew around one of the many coal operations that transformed southern West Virginia during the opening decades of the twentieth century. Today it is easy to pass through the area without realizing how many layers of industrial history once crowded into the narrow valley. Mines, railroad tracks, company houses, a store, schools, churches, offices, and neighboring Maitland filled ground that the mountains left available.
