USGS Topo · Published 1974About this map
The Greenbrier River dictates the layout of this 1971 topographical survey, winding through the borderlands of Greenbrier, Summers, and Monroe counties. The town of Alderson sits prominently at a northern bend, where the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad follows the riverbank, serving as a vital transportation artery. This map reveals a high concentration of institutional facilities along the water, including the Federal Reformatory for Women near Glenray and the State Prison for Women Water Tank further downstream near Pence Springs.
