About this map

Alderson and the winding course of the Greenbrier River anchor this 1920s survey of the borderlands between Summers and Monroe Counties. The Chesapeake and Ohio railroad corridor serves as the primary artery for river-valley towns like Talcott and Pence Springs, while the surrounding uplands are defined by a dense network of local landmarks. The map reveals an exceptionally granular distribution of social centers, featuring nearly thirty distinct school sites such as Spider Den School and Detroit School, alongside rural meeting houses like Trinity Church.
